There are approximately 7,600 people in Toronto who are homeless. The homeless are often victims of violence, suffer from poor health and nutrition, and a higher incidence of suicide. Children, youth, Aboriginal people, new immigrants, and refugees make up the segment experiencing the greatest growth.

Who We’re Supporting
The Common Table
Open Monday through Friday from 8am to 11.45am, the program offers a welcoming space for all who are tired, struggling with economic or health challenges, homeless/living in shelters/under housed, or those looking for a place to belong, find healing, make friends, and be valued.
Seeds
of Hope
Working to stop the ‘Revolving Door’ of individuals moving from the street to police arrest to hospitalization and back to the street. Their focus is to create ‘centres of friendship’ that are safe places, and to encourage individuals who are at a crossroads in their lives to support one another.
Sanctuary Toronto
Offering dignity, support and direction to people who want to reclaim healthy, meaningful lives through drop-ins, street outreach and one-to-one relationships; offering food, clothing and basic health care, accessing welfare, housing, legal counsel, medical care, counselling, therapy or drug rehabilitation.
Thank you to all of our supporters
and all of the musicians and volunteers that have donated their time and talent.
Indigenous people, including First Nations, Inuit, Métis, or people who identify as having Indigenous ancestry, make up 16% of the overall Toronto homeless population.
