Areas of Impact

At the heart of our campaign is the belief that a better community looks different for everyone. A better community is one where everyone has the support they need, from mental health services to basic necessities like food and shelter, and where children and youth can realize their limitless potential. We invite you to be part of this transformative journey. BETTER is POSSIBLE, and there’s no better time than now to make a profound difference. Together, we can move the needle on poverty.

All in for YOUTH

Empowering Potential
Inspiring Futures

All in for YOUTH works with students, families, schools, agencies, government, businesses, and community members to build a network of support that helps young people reach their full potential.

By fostering resilience, preventing youth substance use, promoting mental well-being, and ensuring access to the right resources at the right time, we help set kids on the path to a healthier, brighter future.

Pathways to HOME

Opening Doors
Building Stability

Pathways to HOME brings together community partners, service providers, government, and businesses to support programs, projects, and wraparound services that address the root causes of homelessness –such as mental health, addictions, trauma, and poverty.

By working together to provide a continuum of shelter and housing options – from emergency support to transitional housing and long-term solutions – we help ensure that those experiencing homelessness have pathways to safe, dignified, and stable places to call home.

NOURISH the North

Feeding Hope
Strengthening Communities

NOURISH the North unites farmers, food producers, Indigenous partners, community organizations, and local businesses to build a sustainable, circular food system that strengthens communities across Northwestern Ontario. By connecting locally grown food with local needs, we help ensure that individuals, families, children, and seniors facing food insecurity have access to fresh, nutritious meals. At the same time, we support long-term food security by building systems rooted in local relationships, shared infrastructure, and regional capacity.
We recognize that lasting food security requires more than emergency responses — it depends on a resilient, place-based food system grounded in collaboration, care, and respect for diverse knowledge systems, including Indigenous food sovereignty. By investing in community-led solutions that connect programs, people, and places, NOURISH the North is planting the seeds for a thriving, healthier, food-secure future across Northwestern Ontario.
