What an incredible evening! Always an amazing time collaborating with our community partners! Services and Housing In the Province - SHIP

A heartfelt thank you to Boston Pizza Orangeville for hosting a fantastic Celebrity Server Night on Monday evening! 🍕❤️

It was a pleasure to join our friends at Choices Shelter and Support Services for an evening of community, connection, and fun, all in support of vital local programs. We're especially proud of our own SHIP "celebrity servers," Shirley and Caitlin, who traded in their regular roles for aprons and serving trays as they helped raise awareness and support for our shared mission.

Thanks to the generosity of Boston Pizza Orangeville at 5 Buena Vista Drive, 10% of all food sales from the evening will help support critical programming for individuals and families who need it most in Orangeville and the surrounding area.

We are incredibly grateful to the Boston Pizza team, everyone who came out to dine, and all the volunteer celebrity servers who helped make the evening such a success. Community partnerships like these demonstrate the power of coming together to create meaningful impact and build stronger, more caring communities for all.

Thank you for helping make a difference, one meal at a time. ❤️

This month’s Anchor Social was all about transformation, connection, and community!

We had the pleasure of offering our clients complimentary haircuts, giving everyone a chance to experience the confidence boost that comes with a fresh new look. A huge thank you to our talented hairstylists and barbers — Cory, Bailey, and Glamorous and Beautiful Salon — for sharing their skills and helping our clients look and feel their best!

Of course, it wouldn’t be an Anchor Social without great food and fun! We enjoyed delicious jerk chicken, played games, shared laughs, and made memories together.

More than just a haircut, it was about celebrating self-confidence, feeling good, and reminding everyone that they deserve to feel their best. 💚

What an incredible weekend! 💚⚾️

We are so grateful to everyone who came out and helped make our baseball tournament such an amazing success.

Our partnership with Kala’s Wings truly could not have gone better. From start to finish, the shared commitment to raising awareness about mental health and su***de awareness was felt throughout the entire weekend. Our two causes are so deeply connected, and we were incredibly honoured that Kala’s Wings placed their trust in Choices Shelter and Support Services to stand alongside them, share their cause, and work together toward such an important message of awareness, compassion and hope.

We met so many wonderful people over the weekend and were reminded again and again of the power of community. We had beautiful weather ☀️, fantastic baseball ⚾️ , amazing food and drinks 🍔🥂, incredible prizes 🎁, and most importantly, an incredible group of people who came together for something much bigger than the tournament itself. 👥

A huge thank you to every baseball player who participated, every volunteer who gave their time, and all of the Choices’ staff who helped throughout the weekend. Thank you as well to our incredible sponsors whose generosity helped make this event possible.

And to every single person who attended, supported, donated, volunteered, played, purchased a raffle ticket, shared our message, or simply took a moment to reflect on what this weekend represented — thank you. Your participation has an impact far beyond the baseball diamond.

This weekend was an incredible success, and we are so proud of what was accomplished together.

Thank you, Kala’s Wings, for an unforgettable partnership, and thank you to our community for showing up in such an incredible way. 💚
