We have the BEST community. 💜 @kopsrecords, Toronto's oldest independent record store, chose to support Street Haven as their International Women's Day initiative this year, donating 10% of their proceeds to support the women we serve. And today, Mary Koppel stopped by in person to drop off their donation, and we’re thrilled to share they raised $1,100! This is what community looks like. A local Toronto institution using their platform to create real impact and honestly, we're just so grateful. Thank you, Kops Records, for showing up for Street Haven and the women in our community. We're so lucky to call you a friend! #CommunityImpact #KopsRecords #StreetHaven #SupportLocal #InternationalWomensDay

We are so grateful for our friends at H&R Block! 🙌💙 For several years, they've been showing up for Street Haven and the women we serve, offering free tax services to our clients AND making a generous annual donation. This year, they came through with an incredible $5,000 gift. 🎉 Partnerships like this one are built on trust, consistency, and a genuine belief in our mission, and that means everything to us. Thank you to H&R Block and District Manager, Blair St. Amand for your generosity and support! #CommunitySupport #GivingBack #Partnership #StreetHaven

As part of Street Haven’s Employment services’ 1 year anniversary, we asked Christy her experience of receiving employment services from the team: This is what Christy had to say: “Street Haven at the Crossroads provided me with invaluable support and resources, helping me overcome challenges and achieve my career goals. I highly recommend their services to other women seeking job opportunities. Before coming to Street Haven, I felt lost and discouraged in my job search. I was facing challenges with updating my resume, preparing for interviews, and understanding the local job market in Toronto. The team at Street Haven provided invaluable support and guidance. They helped me revamp my resume to highlight my skills and experience, and they offered mock interviews that boosted my confidence. The staff also connected me with networking opportunities and job postings that were relevant to my career goals. Other women can expect to find a supportive and empowering environment at Street Haven. They offer a range of resources, including career counseling, job search workshops, and access to computers and internet. The agency is dedicated to helping women overcome barriers to employment and achieve their career aspirations. A heartfelt thank you to the management and staff of Street Haven at the Crossroads." From the heart that Street Haven cared for, Christy Toyin Ijiola Congratulation to Christy for finding a job as a personal Support Worker through the support of the employment team at Street Haven at the Crossroads. #OneYearOfEmploymentServices #WomensEmploymentServices #PersonalSupportWorker #PersonalSupportWorkerInToronto #JobsInToronto #EmploymentAgency #WomenSupportingWomen #NewcomerJobs #JobsInSocialServices #Newcomer Jobs

We're thrilled to introduce Sankavi Hariharan, a new volunteer on our Employment and Donations team. 👏 Sankavi joined Street Haven with a mission to give back to the community, and over the past few months, she has become an invaluable part of our team. Her research skills have been a huge help to our work and she's supported the team in so many meaningful ways. We're so grateful to have her with us. Sankavi's professionalism, dedication, and passion for community and employment work truly shine through. 💙 #Volunteer #StreetHaven #CommunitySupport #womensupportingwomen

It started with one phone call 📞 Logan Ling from Response Innovations (RI) wanted to do something good for their community—and WOW did they deliver. Brand-new underwear, cozy sweaters, coats, and essentials for the women at Street Haven. And when we arrived? We were greeted by the real MVP… Izzy 🐶 Instant mood boost! Our neighbourhood—Gerrard & Sherbourne—is home to one of the highest concentrations of shelters in Toronto. It’s often misunderstood, but it’s also where critical, life-changing work happens every single day. If you’re a local business, look around. Who’s doing important work nearby? Start with a phone call—just like Logan did. Gerrard & Sherbourne businesses, we’d love to connect. #CabbageTown #OldTown #EndHomelessness #StreetHaven #ChrisMoise #GiveBackToronto

We are SO excited to be part of U of T’s @womensadvocacyoutreach (WAO) Women Helping Women Convention tomorrow!  💙 We truly couldn’t be more grateful for the relationship WAO has created with Street Haven. From volunteering at our shelter this past January to fundraising, WAO is an incredible group of U of T students dedicated to advocating and supporting women and women’s rights in their community and across the world.   Our Executive Director, Andrea, has been invited as a guest speaker, and all ticket proceeds go directly toward supporting our organization.   We will have a Street Haven table so come say hi, grab some info, and chat with us about what we do! With the Convention centred around intersectional grassroots advocacy, we can’t think of a better event for us to be a part of.  #WomenHelpingWomen #WAO #IntersectionalAdvocacy #WomenEmpowerment #StreetHaven
