The Dale extends an invitation to "come as you are". We create space in which it is safe to ask hard questions, struggle, celebrate, pray and eat. We endeavour to pick each other up when we inevitably fall down. We do this through our drop-ins, church service, pastoral care, advocacy, street help, outreach and crisis assistance. The Dale has no building. All of our programming happens in partnership with local organizations and outside on the street. As an organization we are entirely dependent on the financial support of others for our needs, including direct service staff salaries. Giving in this way is a unique opportunity to become an intrinsic part of The Dale network.

For over 100 years The Elliott Community has cared for and served seniors in Guelph. We have grown to become the only not for profit home for seniors in Guelph to offer five levels of care: Life Lease Suites, Retirement, Retirement Plus, Respite, and Long-Term Care. Our residents have made significant contributions to their communities. Our residents are war veterans, service men and women, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. They are philanthropists, factory workers, ministers, farmers, doctors, industry leaders, visionaries and so much more. They have shaped their communities and our Country. It is their generation that formed many of the services and systems we rely on and utilize today.

The War Amps is a Canadian nation-wide registered charitable organization operated under the direction of war amputees. In 1946, the Key Tag Service was launched as a sheltered workshop where war amputees could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the organization. The Address Label Service was introduced in 1972 to provide year-round employment for the disabled staff at the Key Tag Service. The War Amps is able to operate its many programs, such as the CHAMP (Child Amputee) Program, PLAYSAFE and DRIVESAFE, solely through donations from the public to the Key Tag and Address Label Service. The War Amps does not: use professional fundraisers; receive government grants; solicit by phone or door-to-door; sell or trade your name/address; spend more than 10% on administration; tie up funds in long-term investments.

Since 1993, we have helped protect over 11,000 acres of special natural lands in central Ontario; north Simcoe County and Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes. Properties and conservation easements have been donated to us by individuals with a great love for nature. We also manage properties owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Our goal is to protect natural lands by: • accepting donations of significant lands to manage as nature reserves • entering into conservation easements with willing owners to legally restrict future development • working cooperatively with other organizations to acquire or manage ecological lands • engaging private landowners and volunteers in positive conservation actions • increasing local knowledge and awareness about natural heritage conservation

Raising the Roof was created as a result of a national consultation on homelessness conducted in 1996. Experts from across the country expressed a need for an organization that would play a key role in facilitating shared strategies to end homelessness - strategies that would show people in tangible, practical terms what they can do in their own communities to prevent and address current problems of homelessness.
