We offer a hot meal at lunchtime, five days a week, all year long. The Wearhouse operates offering free household items and clothing to those who visit our facility. We also offer an Emergency Food Pantry to assist our neighbours who are running short and find themselves without enough food.

The Nanny Angel Network is a registered charity and the only organization of its kind in Canada. We have been providing free, specialized childcare support and programs to families living with cancer since 2009. Three main goals that drive everything we do: Provide specialized, Child Life-informed childcare support and programs for parents with cancer to give them the time they need to take care of themselves and reduce existing social support burn-out. Build resiliency in children by teaching life-long coping skills. Provide a sense of normalcy for children during a tumultuous time in their lives. Backed by 30 years of nanny agency experience, NAN has continued to successfully provide free resources for cancer patients and their families for over a decade. We support families at any point during the cancer journey. We’re there from the time of diagnosis, during treatment or through palliative care. We continue to support families who need help for up to a year during the bereavement period.

Zero Food Waste is a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to promoting sustainability and reducing food waste in our community. Our mission isto create a more resilient and environmentally conscious Kingston by connecting local food businesses, residents, and organizations to minimize waste and maximize resources. Kingston food recovery efforts involve collecting surplus food from local businesses and redistributing it to those in need, ensuring that no food goes to waste. We are currently looking for volunteer drivers with a license to go on "food delivery runs" from local Kingston restaurants to assigned charities.
