Supporting the Precariously Housed & Homeless

This February we walked for Sistering for the 2024 Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser.

A special thank you to all of our supporters.
We raised $2700.00 for:

Club members attended the Toronto Underhoused & Homeless Union (TUHU) press conference & gathering on NHD, November  2023. It was an opportunity for TUHU members to be heard about their experiences and challenges including renoviction, exploitation, disrespect and harassment, and to voice their demands.    

On a positive note, at our November General Meeting we hosted a team from WoodGreen Community Services that serves the residents of Cedarvale House, a home to more than 50 seniors who have transitioned from homelessness. It has been running for a year now.

Special Event: Beyond COVID

We thank our guest speakers and all who joined us for the event for a successful and informative evening. Dr. Wu, Dr. McCready and MPP Bowman engaged us with their different perspectives and knowledge of this complex topic and generated great discussion.

We continue to support the right to education for women and girls in Afghanistan.

At our annual April fundraiser we raised $2,400 for the Darakht-e Danesh Library (DDL) an online library providing free educational resources. This is a project of CW4WAfghan.

We prepared bookmarks to express our joy of reading and our concern for the growing threats of censorship.
