On November 1, the Common Table celebrated 30 years of serving the unhoused and most vulnerable in our community. We can all agree that their lifesaving services are a legacy worth celebrating.
During the event, two exciting things happened. First, former Premier Bob Rae came to talk about the social issues affecting many Torontonians and challenged us, as a community, to “tackle them head on”.
Then a local family, the Hyatts, brought an opportunity to make that happen. With a gift from them and other local supporters, The Common Table was able to announce a $100,000 matching campaign for its Winter Emergency Relief. They call it The Good Neighbour Challenge. Every dollar donated in November will be matched up to $100,000 and new monthly donors will have their whole first year of giving matched.
We encourage you to become a Good Neighbour. There are three ways to participate in this challenge and make a difference in our community.
