Living the Gospel by helping homeless youth
On any given night, 6,000 people across Canada between 16 and 24 have nowhere to call home. This represents 20% of the total homeless population. The ShareLife-supported Rights of Passage program at Covenant House is making a positive difference in the lives of homeless youth on the streets of Toronto. The program matches adolescents with mentors who help them build life skills. By supporting ShareLife, you’re helping at-risk youth prepare for life on their own.
Please make a sacrificial gift to Share Life through your parish or sharelife.org.
ShareLife Results for Previous Campaigns 2016 $190,334.25 2017 $217,507.08 2018 $172,230.78
Our Goal For 2019 $180,000 Collection to Date: $98,366
Each month the food we collect is sent to Rosalie Hall and the Good Shepherd Centre.
Rosalie Hall assists young parents and their children to realize their potential through the provision of a wide range of child development, community, residential and educational services.
Good Shepherd provides hot meals and shelter for the homeless in our city as well as a chance to start again through the Resettlement or DARE Programs.
Your food donations are more important than ever as the winter continues and numbers of needy people continue to increase. Please check the expiry dates before donating since we cannot pass on food that has expired. Thank you for your generous support.

Drivers wanted! Now that our first garden crops are maturing, we need drivers to deliver produce to the Good Shepherd Ministries on Queen Street.
