"It was the first time I was able to ask for help." 💛 Asking for help isn't easy, especially when you've spent your whole life being the one who holds it all together. But for Abida, that one decision changed everything. With steady support from her Grant House case managers, she found the care she needed to rebuild her life. Today, Abida is thriving and she wants you to know that community is there for you, whenever you're ready to reach for it. Abida's full story is up on our newsletter now — link in bio. #StoriesofHope #WomenSupportingWomen #StreetHaven #Recovery #GrantHouse

We're so excited to share that Street Haven has received a 2026 Neighbourhood Grant from The Starbucks Foundation! ☕💛 Our partnership with @starbuckscanada started earlier this year when a working meeting at our local Starbucks turned into an introduction to their district manager, Melissa. From there, a team from the Charles and Bay Starbucks came out to 87 Pembroke to volunteer with us, sorting donations, assembling harm reduction kits, and sprucing up our shelter grounds to make it an even more welcoming space for our residents. The relationship didn't stop there. In the spring, Starbucks generously donated a gift basket for our Street Haven in Bloom silent auction and then nominated us for their Neighbourhood Grant! We're so grateful for this growing partnership. Thank you to our local Starbucks partners who nominated us and saw the work we do with women across Toronto. This funding will help us keep meeting women where they are, offering the support they need to rebuild their lives with safety, dignity, and hope. #NeighbourhoodGrants #TheStarbucksFoundation #StreetHaven #CommunitySupport #GivingBack

Say hello to Michele and Vinay, the newest additions to the Street Haven team! 👋 Michele is our new Community Integration Specialist, working her magic to connect employees with employers. Fun fact: she's usually one of the first ones in the office, greeting everyone with a cheery "good morning!" Vinay just joined us as an Employment Coach, helping clients nail everything from resumes to interviews to feeling ready for that next opportunity. She's only been here a few weeks but has already jumped in headfirst. She even marched with us in the Pride parade during her very first week! Listen to Michele and Vinay share what their roles look like and what keeps them motivated every day. Welcome to the Street Haven family, Michele and Vinay! We're so glad you're here! 💙 #StreetHaven #WomenSupportingWomen #EmploymentandTraining #Community #NonProfit

☀️ Sun, sand, and so much fun! Yesterday, the Street Haven team headed to the beach for a well-deserved staff wellness day 🌊 The day was packed with games, beach time, and (of course) incredible food from our very own Pearl and the amazing kitchen team. The work we do is meaningful, but it isn't always easy. That's exactly why days like this are so important. It gives our team a chance to slow down, reconnect, and just enjoy each other's company! And in true Street Haven fashion, there was music, dancing, and plenty of laughter throughout the day. Our team not only knows how to show up for the women we serve, but they also know how to show up for each other and have a lot of fun! 💛 #StreetHaven #StaffWellness #TeamSelfCare #TorontoNonprofit #Community
