What we do
Houselink is a leader in providing employment, community and housing stability supports to over 900 individuals in the broader community as well as 526 tenants within 42 locations across Toronto. In addition to housing, we provide flexible housing, mental health and addiction supports, social recreation, a food program, supported employment and civic engagement opportunities. Participants also take part in Houselink's governance, including board membership.
Who we help
Our participants face mental health challenges, addictions and deep poverty. They have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. You can imagine that many have difficulty leaving their homes and are severely isolated.
Our problem
Pre-pandemic, Houselink kitchens hosted meals where people could come together for food and much needed socialization. Many participants struggle to buy food on limited incomes and lack life skills to prepare nutritious meals.
Through the pandemic, staff have been delivering meals to the most vulnerable -- ensuring food security, providing wellness checks and some socialization. For people dealing with mental health issues and addictions, a regular meal can be profoundly stabilizing.
We need your help.
Meal delivery and client contacts have increased by almost 150% during this pandemic. Moving congregate dining programs to food delivery is costly. Our participants are alone, vulnerable and incredibly isolated. Good food helps!
Adopt a Houselink kitchen!
(If you are giving as a gift, and would like a certificate of donation, email pattyle@houselink.on.ca after you donate.)
Your dollars go directly to pay for food. Houselink will absorb the costs of preparation, delivery and staff salaries. Feeding the hungry has never been so easy.
