OUR MISSION
SHC’s mission is to work with all communities in different roles without discrimination, with a focus on individuals living with mental health challenges, homelessness, disability, and domestic violence. Our work is inspired and based on Canadian values of human dignity, self-reliance, and social justice. Our organization fulfills the nutritional and provisional needs of all qualifying individuals from impoverished and marginalized backgrounds, without the consideration of race, gender, religion, or status. SHC’s operations are uniquely volunteer run, with several projects to provide services on the front-line by supplying food, housing support and hygiene kits to single-family units, seniors, refugees and immigrants, people living with disabilities and people with limited mobility. Provisional relief is also supplied to people living in local shelters and long-term care homes.
SHC is also involved in emergency relief efforts during times of crisis; our team of generous volunteers has successfully responded to several domestic and international emergencies and challenging moments on a local and international level. Our mandate includes obtaining the right aid, delivered to the right people, at the right time. We deliver culturally sensitive and relevant provisional items by placing ourselves in the shoes of our beneficiaries. Beneficiary needs are thoroughly assessed before aiding. SHC operates its projects with full transparency by fulfilling commitments and responsibilities and holding ourselves accountable for donations entrusted to us.
