Over the holidays, when volunteer shifts are often hardest to fill, the Modern Mystery School staff and local community members tied on their aprons and stepped in to serve meals at Haven Toronto.
Haven Toronto is a drop-in centre serving homeless and marginally housed men over 50—providing breakfast and lunch every single day of the year. More than meals, Haven offers warmth, dignity, connection, and vital services to those who need it most.
What seemed like a simple act of service became a deeply meaningful experience for everyone involved.
For many years, the Modern Mystery School has proudly supported Haven Toronto.
This season, that support included a $20,000 donation from Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon and Ipsissima Franca Lanyon, 200 hoodies for Haven members, winter essentials such as hats, scarves, gloves, boots and even snow pants and winter jackets — all collected from our HQ staff and local initiate community — plus over 150 gift cards to help meet immediate needs.
We are honoured to stand alongside Haven Toronto in their mission to care for our elders, strengthen community, and bring warmth during the coldest months every day of the year.
