On Thursday mornings, we host an art drop-in that we call Studio Sanctuary. Everybody is welcome, and we encourage our friends to pass the word along and invite others. Some of the people who participate are experiencing poverty while living on the street, and some people are not, but it’s a time when everyone can come together to celebrate the process of creation and growth that comes with practicing our gifts. It’s truly an encouraging time of fellowship and collaboration, each week.

However this organization is special because they build relationships with those that they help and not just give them aid and leave. They treat those that are in need of aid as if they are someone more than just in need of help. They the team of Sanctuary immerse themselves and listen to the stories on how they ended up in the place they are today. That is something other organizations do not do as well as Sanctuary Toronto.

They also build relationships with those are in need and not just provide them aid. Being able to build speak to those and understand their story is a better than just providing aid in my opinion. Not only do they provide aid but also provide skills valuable life skills that including cooking and human interaction.
