The Red Door Family Shelter has been in existence for over 35 years and operates two shelters in Toronto’s east end. The face of homelessness in Toronto is changing and it is having a devastating and disruptive effect as more families and children are in need of emergency and temporary shelter. The shelters serve: 1. Families that are facing a housing crisis such as eviction 2. Single moms and their children fleeing domestic abuse 3. Refugee families that are often fleeing nations plagued by civil war and violence. Donations from community and corporate partners, allow the Red Door Family Shelter to provide programs for their residents that go beyond food and shelter. These are programs that make life a little easier for families while at the Red Door and that offer tools to achieve long-term objectives of seeking an end to family homelessness through the provision of stable housing and innovative, client-driven programs and services, while at the same time working towards ending the cycles of violence and poverty by raising awareness about social justice issues at a community level. It is with a great sense of pride that we share with you the following details on how you can get involved through the purchase of unique items offered in our holiday gift guide. 2
