Celebrating Success at Street Haven

The annual report for one of our agencies, Street Haven at the Crossroads, landed on my desk yesterday - they are working wonders there!

Last year, this women's shelter and resource centre provided shelter for 1,337 women in need and served more than 50,000 meals! Among other small wonders, Street Haven staff assisted 38 women with finding employment, supported 110 women as they worked to kick their addictions, and helped another 154 women in securing safe housing.

This is a great example of how ShareLife funding can make a difference in people's lives. There are real success stories at Street Haven and brighter futures for hundreds of women in our area.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who makes Street Haven a success.

addendum
Well, it seems the students at St. Francis Xavier are smarter than me... they avoided the rain yesterday by taking their walk indoors. The halls of the school, all three floors of them, were filled with marching students - dry, marching students - as they continued their ShareLife event with nary a drop of rain in site.
