Our vision for a thriving Niagara starts with you.
A thriving community requires a strong social safety net – one that supports every person, ensuring no one is left behind. Social issues like poverty are complex. After all, someone experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, needs more than just shelter or a meal. Your support strengthens the social safety net as a whole, providing access to nutritious food, safe housing, stable income and crucial social connections.
In order for whole communities to thrive, the needs of every individual living there must be met. Lifting people out of poverty for good requires all of us; the solution is beyond what any single person or organization can do alone. A strong network of agencies is critical, and our community urgently needs help.
