Help Jim raise money

For participating in Gear Up for Housing 2024

My Story…

As a board member of St. Clare's, I can tell you from first hand experience that this is a very special organization. They are currently undertaking an infill development at their 1120 Ossington Ave. property where the project will add 25 more homes! When poverty is the number one reason for homelessness, affordable housing gives individuals and families the security and stability of a home. All donations will go towards our Ossington Infill Project.

Description

Please help me grease the wheels! I’m cycling around Toronto to help end homelessness.

St. Clare’s is an innovative non-profit organization that uses a unique housing model that serves as an avenue into housing for people who chronically struggle with homelessness. And they're more than a social justice landlord. Since 1998, St. Clare's has established 762 affordable housing units in 7 of Toronto's downtown neighbourhoods. Every donation to Gear Up for Housing goes directly to St. Clare's development activities to establish much-needed, deeply affordable housing.This year, all funds raised will go towards the building of 25 new units of housing alongside their existing building at 1120 Ossington Ave.

Please consider sponsoring my ride with a donation. All donations receive a tax receipt. Any amount, no matter how small, helps us move closer to ending homelessness.
