Canada's 2025 Food Price Report shows it clearly: feeding a family of four costs $1,402 per month. That’s nearly 80% of the median income for tenants living in OCH communities. This is why we need programs like Tomorrow Ready that help families access essential hygiene supplies and fresh food.

Every week, women & girls get an hour of calm and care through our recLINK yoga group. From walking farther with less pain to finding support after trauma, this little class offers an oasis of calm. These are the little victories your support makes possible, helping people thrive.
