  • What if the "small inconveniences" in your day—waiting for water to come back on or deciding what’s for dinner—weren’t inconveniences at all, but reminders of privileges many don’t have? For people experiencing homelessness, these everyday comforts are dreams still out of reach. The warmth of a bed, the choice of a meal, or even a safe place to rest—none of it is guaranteed. At Fred Victor, we work to change that. Every day, we help people rebuild their lives, offering access to food, shelter, and the support needed to find stability. Take a moment to read this and reflect—and let your gratitude inspire action to help someone in need today. Read now: https://lnkd.in/gV5KqfA5

  • 💙 Today is Giving Tuesday! 💙 It’s a day to come together, show generosity, and make a real difference. Right now, over 12,000 Torontonians are experiencing homelessness. For them, the holiday season isn’t about warmth or celebration—it’s about survival. The idea of “home” is deeply felt during this season, and as cold weather approaches, the need to come together as a community is more urgent than ever. We hope that this Giving Tuesday, you’ll make a donation to Fred Victor and support the people who rely on our services every day. Thanks to the Moez and Marissa Kassam Equity Fund, every donation made today will be matched. That means you’ll help twice as many people find a safe place to sleep, enjoy a warm meal, and rebuild their lives with renewed hope. Let’s unite to make sure our vulnerable neighbours aren’t left out in the cold. Together, we can make a lasting impact. 🙏 Donate now and help rebuild lives: https://lnkd.in/geNvGD-h #GivingTuesday #FredVictor #DoubleYourImpact #RebuildLives #TorontoCares #GivingTuesdayCA #WePowerGood

  • 📣 Important Update This is a critical time for our fundraising efforts, as over 3,000 people rely on Fred Victor’s programs and services every day. With colder weather settling in and the number of people experiencing homelessness in Toronto estimated at 12,000, we know even more people will need urgent access to shelter, food, and health supports. Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, our outreach efforts have been significantly impacted and many of our supporters are unable to send their donations through traditional methods. As a result, our donations are down. How you can help: 💻 Donate Online – The fastest way to make an impact is by donating securely at www.fredvictor.org. Your contribution will help us meet the urgent needs of our community and ensure no one is left behind this winter. Thank you for supporting Fred Victor and helping us rebuild lives during this challenging time. ❤️
