Annual Community Charity Banquet and Awards Ceremony (ACCBAC)
ACCBAC celebrates individuals and organizations making a difference in our communities. It is a night of honor, gratitude, and inspiration—recognizing leadership, service, and the collective power of doing good.
Bridge to Success
In partnership with Jesus House Toronto and the Government of Canada (ESDC), Bridge to Success provides youth with mentorship, employment readiness training, and life skills to help them thrive in today’s world. Through real connections, hands-on learning, and personalized guidance, the program opens doors to opportunity.
Community Drives: Food, Shelter & Clothing
Our seasonal and emergency drives ensure families and individuals have access to basic necessities—food hampers, warm clothing, and transitional shelter support. We believe no one should be left behind, especially during life’s hardest moments.
