Ontario has extended the provincial Declaration of Emergency until June 30^th in response to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. The Red Door Family Shelter remains committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of our clients, staff and community as we go through this challenging time together.

We continue to provide emergency shelter for homeless families and for women and children escaping domestic abuse. We are also serving outreach clients, who are former residents building new lives in their own homes.

A resident and her children moved into interim accommodations yesterday, April 2, that provides her enhanced privacy and the ability to self-isolate. This was a planned move as it had become apparent that our shelter was not equipped to meet the complexity of her needs. This is not a decision we take lightly. We are collaborating with the city to find her more suitable long-term accommodations and we are confident she and her children will be taken care of.

We're thrilled to share our new text-to-give campaign which has been launched in a variety of resto-bars throughout the city to raise funds for our programs that help families at our shelter recover from homelessness and abuse.

Thank you so much to the amazing team who generously volunteered their creative talent & resources to make this campaign possible:
