Thanks to a $10,000 seasonal gift from Canada Life, 1JustCity has established an outdoor warming fire which will be held two days a week for the West End community at the St. Matthews Maryland Community Ministry on McGee Street, it was announced Friday.
The warming fire also serves as a space to serve hot drinks, connect with staff and engage in Indigenous cultural programming, organizers said in a press release. With the province being in code red until January, there is no longer access to our indoor drop-in site which leaves people experiencing homelessness displaced as they often rely on their space for warmth, connection and rest.
