👋 Hey friends — we need your help!
We’re trying to stock up on some much-needed basics to help keep our peeps warm, clean, and comfy… but right now we’re in a bit of a weird spot.

We've got ALL the toothpaste but guess what? No toothbrushes.
Conditioner? Coming out of our ears! Shampoo? Crickets.
We’re sittin’ pretty on paste, but short on stuff that actually gets the job done.

So here’s what we DO need:
🧤 Mittens
🪥 Toothbrushes
🧴 Shampoo, body wash, deodorant
🧼 Razors, combs, lip chap, mugs, bandaids

💻 The easiest way to help? Hit up our Amazon Wishlist and send these goodies right to us without even putting on pants!

Let’s stock the shelves and spread some comfort.
Because dignity, warmth, and good hygiene never go out of season. 💛

Happening tomorrow

September is Su***de Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and show support for those affected by su***de. Every year, September 10 marks World Su***de Prevention Day — a global initiative first launched in 2003 by the International Association for Su***de Prevention. It is a day for individuals, communities, and organizations to come together to promote understanding and encourage open, compassionate conversations.

💛 Through education, connection, and community support, we can make a difference.

To honour this day, a Sacred Fire will be lit on:

📅 September 10
🕔 5:00 – 7:00 PM
📍 Green space at Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre
(401 N. Cumberland Street)

We invite the community to gather with us — to remember loved ones we’ve lost, and to stand in support of those who may be struggling today.

If you’re struggling, help is available. Please reach out:

September is Recovery Month.

Did you know…? 🤔💭

21% of people in Canada will experience substance use health issues in their lifetime.

It does not discriminate, and impacts individuals, families, and communities from all demographics.

This month, we are calling for hope, healing, and community through recovery. 💜

Let’s celebrate recovery together, wherever you’re at in your journey.
