Hello friends!
I wanted to officially announce that now a portion of my work and business will be in support of Sistering, a wonderful organization helping women in Toronto.
Sistering is a multi-service agency for at-risk, socially isolated women in Toronto who are homeless or precariously housed. Sistering offers various services including a 24/7 safe drop-in centre, a kitchen with served nutritious meals, harm reduction, support services including housing referrals, shelter/hostel referrals and income support, as well as various programs and social enterprise initiatives. Sistering is a low barrier agency, meaning that they make it as easy as possible for women to get a wide range of support. You can read more about their impact in their annual report.
Starting January 1st, $10.00 from EVERY service booked will be donated to Sistering, in a tangible way. This means that for every appointment, I will use $10.00 to purchase an item that is needed by the centre or provided within a quarterly donation. You can have a say in what I use the $10.00 towards if you would like, and I will show you what I provide using the donation.
My office will also be a drop-off centre for donations, so that you may drop off items when you come in for your appointments. If you are interested to donate items, the list below shows you what this organization needs at this time :)
