Emergency Shelter Services

At Street Haven, our volunteers are the heartbeat of our community, and this month, we're happy to shine a light on Heidi Kenkel!

Every Monday evening, Heidi brings warmth, care, and connection to Grant House through cooking and baking sessions with our clients. From sharing delicious meals to creating meaningful conversations, she has helped foster a strong sense of community among residents. We're especially grateful for her support in preparing for Red Dress Day, and for introducing clients to traditional Indigenous dishes and cultural learning experiences.

Heidi, your punctuality, sincerity, and dedication do not go unnoticed. The joy you bring each week makes a real and lasting difference. Thank you. ✨

Tuesday night was one for the books. 🌸✨ 

Street Haven In Bloom, our very first donor & staff appreciation evening, was everything we hoped for. Long-time donors, our incredible frontline team, and community partners, all together at TIFF Lightbox to celebrate the people who make this work happen. 

The room was full of laughter, warmth, and so much heart. Donors got to meet the staff who show up every single day, and our team got to feel truly seen. That’s what it’s all about. 💛 

Thank you to everyone who came out and a massive thank you to our Social Committee for making the night so special. We won’t forget this one. 

Thank you to @swizzmark for capturing the night so perfectly!

What a night. Street Haven in Bloom was everything we hoped it would be. 🌸

Our first-ever donor and staff appreciation evening brought together the people who make our work possible. We had long-time donors, dedicated frontline staff, and community partners, all under one roof at the iconic TIFF Lightbox, to celebrate Street Haven together.

The night was built around connection. Donors had the chance to meet the incredible staff who pour their hearts into Street Haven every day, and our team had the chance to feel truly seen. We also had the chance to celebrate our amazing Executive Director, Andrea Paszti, whose strong and caring leadership is at the heart of our organization.

Thank you to everyone who showed up for Street Haven last night. You are the reason this work keeps growing. 💛

A special thank you to Street Haven’s Social Committee for making this event possible. Their hard work and dedication resulted in an evening we won’t forget.

Thanks to Muggaga Charles Mark for capturing the night perfectly, and to our sponsors whose generosity helped us achieve such a special evening.
