About Green Wood Coalition
Green Wood Coalition is a street-level, charitable organization that uses a community model of caring to walk alongside people who are hungry, homeless and hurting in Port Hope, Ontario and area.
By offering a place of belonging, Green Wood is a radically inclusive community that honours the worth and the well-being of each person.
We organize our work under these 4 banners:
Recovery (Supporting people with substance dependency to achieve the optimal health they desire).
Outreach (Providing mobile, voluntary support, information and empowerment to those experiencing difficulty navigating the systems).
Community Building (To create understanding and capacity in our community to better respond to human needs),
Art Hives (Social and emotional healing, and skill-building through hands-on creative activities).
