A recent survey of nearly 3,000 Canadian charities showed more than half couldn’t meet demand for help, while nearly a third reported a significant drop in revenue as inflation and staffing shortages continue
Charities of all varieties and sizes across Canada are struggling to keep up with an unprecedented growth in demand, according to a recent survey shared by the Canadian Press.
Providing clothing, household items, and other essentials for those in need, Helping Hands founder Wendy Gutcher says they’re now renting both levels of the former Steelton Chapel near the underpass. “Is it challenging? Yes,” she says. “But the donations are coming in. We get a lot of pretty nice reusable donations for sure.”
Cicchelli says St. Vincent averages 150 takeout meals and between 35-50 hampers every Wednesday and Saturday, in addition to serving 300 kids weekly as part of their Lunches for Learning program. Over at the SSM Soup Kitchen Community Centre, their team estimates they’ve witnessed a 30 per cent increase in demand.
Originally formed to provide programming and resources for people struggling with mental health and substance-use disorders, SOYA president Connie Raynor-Elliott says their services have vastly expanded to keep up with the ever-growing demands for those most vulnerable.
