The Challenge
Got a big-hearted business, workplace, group, church, or community? Step up and join the Challenge to compete for your local pride in support of CNOY. Check the National Challengeboard to see more!
Operation Sharing operates and advocates on the belief that poverty, food insecurity, inequality, health and community are all interconnected.
We offer services and programs that challenge the stigmas surrounding poverty. We allow our community members to maintain their dignity and choice, while simultaneously providing them with tactile skills developed in a community environment, creating long-term skills that facilitate self-sufficiency.
We are located at 22 Wilson St., Woodstock (College Ave. United Church) and our shelter is located at 723 Dundas St., in Woodstock (Old St. Paul’s Anglican Church)
(519-320-1372 ext. 1 for the Shelter or 4 for general information)
There’s no beat stronger than a heartbeat. So team up, fundraise, make some noise, and shake your booties! Let’s change the tune for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because it’s cold out there.
