Organismes Autre organisme sans but lucratif à Hamilton

In the heart of Hamilton, live the poor and the marginalized. Many struggling with addiction and illness. Often homeless and helpless, with so many doors closed to them.  There is one Door that is open, that welcomes them and feeds them hope. That is the De Mazenod Door, an Outreach program that provides food for the hungry and drink for the thirsty, 365 days a year. Through loving compassion and faith in action, De Mazenod Door Outreach serves to improve and empower the lives of the poor and marginalized in Hamilton. By providing food, housing, education, social supports and life skills development, we foster dignity, personal growth and hope for a better future. We work to provide a safe, inclusive environment for our guests, staff, volunteers, community partners and supporters, instilling a sense of community and belonging, where all are welcome and valued, and no one is turned away. Embracing Our Community Guests coming to the De Mazenod Door are treated with dignity and respect.  It is our goal that every single visitor to our door walks away with a true sense of community and a hot meal. Living Our Faith Our ministry is solely supported through the generosity of people who want to make a difference in the lives of the poor and marginalized in our city. Donations are welcome!

In 2009 Audrey Guth, a mother in the midst of her own cancer journey, realized the burden that many parents with cancer face, juggling being a parent and patient. After meeting a mother with cancer and her child in a waiting room, she saw a gap in cancer care and knew she had to do something to help. Guth founded the Nanny Angel Network (NAN) giving respite to moms with cancer. Since then she has made it her mission to innovate and lessen the social and emotional impact of cancer on families by providing free support to mothers, fathers and primary caregivers with cancer. NAN has evolved to Nankind, providing critical intervention to children experiencing the trauma of parental cancer. One family at a time, Nankind has built a community of Volunteer Angels, referral partners and sponsors that together provide free supportive cancer care to families. To date Nankind has supported 3,000+ families, empowered 4,000+ children, provided 65,000+ meals and delivered 100,000+ hours of free childcare.
