Key Components:

1. Emergency Assistance

• Immediate help with food, clothing, and personal hygiene products
• Clothing vouchers
• Referrals to partner organizations for additional support services

2.  Health and Wellness Support

• Referrals to healthcare services
• Connections to mental health support and counselling

3. Transportation Assistance

4. Special Population Focus

• Tailored services for youth, adults, and families
• Culturally appropriate support for newcomers and Indigenous community members

Our Basic Needs Program aims to provide immediate relief while also offering tools and resources to help individuals and families work toward long-term stability. We strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
