At Street Haven, our volunteers are the heartbeat of our community, and this month, we're happy to shine a light on Heidi Kenkel!

Every Monday evening, Heidi brings warmth, care, and connection to Grant House through cooking and baking sessions with our clients. From sharing delicious meals to creating meaningful conversations, she has helped foster a strong sense of community among residents. We're especially grateful for her support in preparing for Red Dress Day, and for introducing clients to traditional Indigenous dishes and cultural learning experiences.

Heidi, your punctuality, sincerity, and dedication do not go unnoticed. The joy you bring each week makes a real and lasting difference. Thank you. ✨

Feeling inspired to start volunteering? Street Haven is currently welcoming new volunteers!

Tuesday night was one for the books. 🌸✨ 

Street Haven In Bloom, our very first donor & staff appreciation evening, was everything we hoped for. Long-time donors, our incredible frontline team, and community partners, all together at TIFF Lightbox to celebrate the people who make this work happen. 

The room was full of laughter, warmth, and so much heart. Donors got to meet the staff who show up every single day, and our team got to feel truly seen. That’s what it’s all about. 💛 

Thank you to everyone who came out and a massive thank you to our Social Committee for making the night so special. We won’t forget this one. 

Thank you to @swizzmark for capturing the night so perfectly!

What a night. Street Haven in Bloom was everything we hoped it would be. 🌸

Our first-ever donor and staff appreciation evening brought together the people who make our work possible. We had long-time donors, dedicated frontline staff, and community partners, all under one roof at the iconic TIFF Lightbox, to celebrate Street Haven together.

The night was built around connection. Donors had the chance to meet the incredible staff who pour their hearts into Street Haven every day, and our team had the chance to feel truly seen. We also had the chance to celebrate our amazing Executive Director, Andrea Paszti, whose strong and caring leadership is at the heart of our organization.

Thank you to everyone who showed up for Street Haven last night. You are the reason this work keeps growing. 💛

A special thank you to Street Haven’s Social Committee for making this event possible. Their hard work and dedication resulted in an evening we won’t forget.

Thanks to Muggaga Charles Mark for capturing the night perfectly, and to our sponsors whose generosity helped us achieve such a special evening. Sonderbloom, Gleneagles General Contractors, GR Contracting Group, Hyde HR Law, Lima Lee Simovonian LLP, Elyon Catering, Hera Interiors, and GHS Resources.

We are beyond grateful to announce an exciting new partnership with Voilà by Sobeys🛒💚

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Voilà team, Grant House residents received their first monthly grocery donation, and it was nothing short of amazing. From sanitary pads and tampons to hair dye, skin lotions, healthy snacks, canned goods, oils, juices, and even beautiful flower bouquets and plants, every single item was thoughtfully chosen and deeply appreciated.

This partnership means so much to the women we serve. Monthly donations like these help our residents access everyday essentials that make a real difference in their lives and wellbeing.

A big thank you to Hemant Rao, Site Manager of Delivery E-Commerce at Sobeys, for championing this from start to finish and making the whole process seamless for our team.

We're proud to work alongside organizations like Voilà by Sobeys, who show up for communities in meaningful ways. Here's to many more deliveries and a strong partnership ahead!

At Street Haven, we celebrate the mothers, the role models, the caregivers, and every woman who has shown up with love, courage, and strength, whether or not they carry the title of "mom." The women who guide, protect, and inspire us deserve to be honoured today too.

Happy Mother's Day to the women who continue to inspire through care, courage, and unconditional love. From all of us at Street Haven. 💙
