The communal dining room at the Wentworth Program has hosted thousands of meals, holiday and birthday celebrations, and arts and crafts sessions. A new set of tables and chairs will go a long way in giving this well-used room a much-needed makeover. 

We’ve established a special fund for supporting tenants during this unsettling time of social distancing and self-isolation.

Canvases and paints for “Painting Parties” at Harvey Woods Lofts in Woodstock and Woodfield Gate in London*

This is an opportunity for tenants to express themselves creatively while interacting with others, increasing their social network and sense of belonging. Canvases will be space to provide adequate social distancing.

$9,500 x 2 for Blossom Park Apartments in Woodstock and North End Landing in Hamilton*

Provide a protected outdoor seating area, as well as a place away from building entrances for smokers.

• $50 x 50 bike locks*
• $1,500 for Indoor Bike Rack at Parkdale Landing in East Hamilton*
• $12,000 for Outdoor Bike Storage at Blossom Park in Woodstock*

Encourage tenants to take advantage of this inexpensive and healthy way of getting around and provide tenants in programs with outdoor bike storage with locks that can’t be cut with bolt cutters.

A furnished apartment will give tenants a fresh start and an opportunity to build a stable home from which they can experience health, wellness and belonging. Your gift will provide basic furnishings and a kitchen kit for one apartment.
