A Better Tent City
 

A Better Tent City is a Project in Kitchener that supports our homeless brothers and sisters, while collectively tackling homelessness in practical ways. It helps them evolve into an organization that drives social entrepreneurship, education, healing and change."

 

•    They are currently using a building a 'shared space' for the residents. Three former portable classrooms were donated by the Waterloo Region School Board and have been combined into one common space for residents: a community centre to house an entertainment area, washrooms, showers, laundry facilities, as well as a kitchen/cafeteria area. . Kitchener Rotary has donated kitchen equipment, including a fridge, stove, and freezer as well as a television for the lounge area.

•    There are also many ' hands-on' volunteer opportunities that our members engage in including site clean-up, baking, cooking and gardening. Most recently we assisted with the ABTC raised garden project, which will stand as a symbol of hope, resilience, and the power of community engagement and the value of "Service Above Self" to transform lives for the better.
