Toronto Drop-In Network monthly meeting

In the 1990s, drop-ins in Toronto started forming networks to advance an understanding of the drop-in model, and to address issues of common concern. These networks joined to form TDIN: an active coalition of drop-in centres throughout the City of Toronto that work with people who are homeless, marginally housed, or socially isolated. Our Network includes drop-ins of all sizes, and with a diversity of philosophies that serve men, women, transgender and non-binary people, youth, and seniors. TDIN associate membership includes organizations that provide outreach and other allied services to people who are homeless, marginally housed, or socially isolated. TDIN is a member-based organization, which is trusteed by The Neighbourhood Group. TDIN is a voice and a resource for the drop-in sector and communities.

Trinity CommUNITY Hub is the latest iteration of the Church of the Holy Trinity’s social justice endeavours. We offer a lunch service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and an opportunity to access clothing, harm reduction gear, and other life-saving supplies to about 100 people each day. Additionally, we host a modest art program during our service on Tuesdays run by lovely and compassionate staff from Toronto Hospice. We prioritize holistic and anti-oppressive approaches to person-centered care. In partnership with a number of different organizations in the Black, Indigenous, Trans, and Street-Involved communities, Trinity CommUNITY Hub serves as a resource hub to support their programming and direct outreach work.
