About Sistering
Changing lives, one woman at a time!
Sistering supports women from across Toronto who experience first hand the impact of marginalization and poverty. They may be homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless. Sistering provides temporary relief from the streets; access to housing; hot meals and snacks; and help to develop social skills and skills in maintaining housing. Most of the women who come to Sistering identify that they do not have any other supports in their lives.
Join us as we walk to make a stand to end homelessness in Toronto.
