This week our shelter youth created Canada themed art! Their artwork has been displayed throughout the shelter to add a festive touch and help celebrate #CanadaDay. It was a fun and creative activity, and the youth did a wonderful job.

As #PrideMonth comes to a close, we celebrate the progress, resilience, and strength of #2SLGBTQ+ communities. At #KennedyHouse, we honour Pride not just in June, but all year long. Pride does not end here. Neither does our commitment.

We recently started a gardening program at the Kennedy House shelter! We're sowing seeds and greening up the rooftop patio with our youth!

Stay tuned for progress over the summer! 🌱

Here is artwork created by our youth in recognition of #IndigenousAwarenessMonth which is observed each June across Canada to recognize & celebrate the rich heritage, diverse cultures, resilience & ongoing contributions of First Nations, Inuit & Métis Peoples.

#FathersDay can mean different things to everybody. At #KennedyHouse, we recognize many of the youth we support have experienced loss, separation or strained relationships. Today, we honour all the caring adults & community members who show up w/ support, guidance & kindness.

We are half way through Pride month and want to share artwork created by our shelter youth in recognition and celebration of the diversity, strength, and resilience of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and communities.

#KennedyHouse Leadership team members, Katie McGregor & Thanoora Yokarajah attended the @ontariocarecollective Conference this past week. The conference’s greatest strength is connecting those who support children, youth, adults & communities across Ontario. We are proud members!

Pride is about visibility, acceptance & safety. For many 2SLGBTQ+ youth, home isn't always a safe place. That’s why spaces like #KennedyHouse matter.
We are committed to:
• Creating a welcoming place
• Providing affirming support
• Ensuring every youth feels safe & respected

[Kennedy House @KennedyHouseYou]

There’s still time to make an impact! The Home Depot #OrangeDoorCampaign runs until June 14. Every donation made in store supports programs that provide safety, stability, and support for youth. A small act can make a big difference in a young person’s life. #KennedyHouse

We visited the 3 @homedepotcanada stores that are supporting #KennedyHouse with an ice cream truck as a small token of appreciation for their continued support in helping us raise funds during the #OrangeDoorProject🍦
Please donate https://t.co/denI7tHk7t until June 14th!
