WHY: The goal of Gala of Light is to raise money to support Toronto women in crisis situations (homelessness, addiction issues, women who have been abused and women who suffer from mental illness). Street Haven provides these women with shelter, food, counseling, and even job training. These efforts are made possible by volunteers of the organization but require help from the people of our city who recognize social issues and who want to play an instrumental role in making changes and reducing the amount of homeless women in our city. The Gala of Light aims to raise awareness of these social issues affecting less fortunate women of Toronto and continue to provide these fundamental tools for a brightened future.
Street Haven serves the 1,400 marginalized and homeless women in Toronto.
