We've opened a thrift store on site to help support our neighbours in need with more than just food support. This store is also open to the public which allows us to use the funds collected to support our food programs as the need grows in our community. (currently, mostly new clothing available. Household items and toys to be added at a later date).

Join us for a night of awareness and action as we discuss how the homeless and housing crisis affect social services in Guelph after the primiere showing of 'Anna Kaljas: The Untold Story' of a woman who made a difference in the lives of the homeless but it seems we have not learned how to carry on her legacy as a society.
