We're still thinking about Street Haven in Bloom 🌷✨

This evening was about YOU, our donors, staff, corporate partners, and event sponsors. Every single one of you makes this work possible. Gratitude doesn't even cover it.

Thank you for showing up, for giving, and for continuing to believe in our mission. Nights like this remind us why we do what we do.

A huge thank you to Mugagga Charles Mark for capturing the evening so beautifully.

We are beyond grateful for the incredible support we received today from the Build Your Smile Dental Foundation🦷✨

Their team visited Grant House and conducted a comprehensive dental screening for our residents, identifying those in urgent need and enrolling them for regular check-ups. Every client also went home with a complimentary dental kit, and we were so touched to receive clothing donations as well.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Izchak Barzilay, who personally and so carefully screened every one of our residents, and to the rest of the incredible Build Your Smile team — Chris Scappatura, Mariela Gonzalez, and Cheryl Ferrer — for ensuring the event ran seamlessly from start to finish.

This is what community care looks like. We are so proud to partner with an organization that brings dignified, professional dental care to those who need it most.

What an incredible weekend. 💛

This weekend marked our very first official Doors Open Toronto at 87 Pembroke and honestly? We're still feeling the love from it.

We got to share the story of our building, our shelter programs, and the legacy of our leader Peggy Ann Walpole with people from all corners of the city. Neighbours from down the street curious about what goes on at Pembroke. Long-time donors finally getting the chance to step inside. New faces discovering Street Haven for the very first time. All of them asking genuine questions, showing real care, and wanting to know how they can help.

That is what Doors Open is all about, opening our doors to the community and sharing our story.

A huge thank you to the shelter and housing team who ran countless tours throughout the day: Rahwa, Mimi, Jessica, Dera, and Debby. They represented our shelter with the same heart and dedication they bring to their work every single day. We couldn't be more proud.

Thank you to everyone who walked through our doors this weekend. We hope to see you again soon.
