| | | People Helping People ...to make a better community for ALL | |
| When individuals feel connected they feel safe. The strength of the Lakeshore Corridor Community Team lies in its connections, those informal relationships that occur everyday in our community. A friendly smile, a perceptive ear, and an openness to others can make all the difference when someone is going through a rough patch. | |
| Helping Hand The LCCT helps people who want to make a better life connect with the resources they need to get started. By doing this, we help them establish a solid foundation from which to maintain their own lives and to contribute to their community. | |
| Unexpected Events Many people have experienced life altering events and need to remake a stable home and community connections. LCCT is a ground level resource helping to make this happen. | |
| How we help? We reach out to the local community when people have household needs like furniture, warm clothing for their kids and cooking equipment. If they need to source the basics of life like shelter, food, jobs and counseling, we refer them to the appropriate services. By doing this we help the Lakeshore Corridor be a better place for everyone. | |
| Do you want to help? We are always looking for specific skills, volunteers, household items and for financial support. If you will give us your email address, we will keep you advised. You never know how you will be able to help. | |
| Our mission is not to replace formal social services. Rather, it is to draw on the considerable resources, particularly human, that are in every community. We encourage those who want to reach out to their neighbours to do so. We do this through connecting and tapping into an ever-increasing network of individuals with whom we are daily developing strong mutually supportive relationships, the building blocks of a caring community. | |
| |
| We believe that every connection that is successful helps make the community a better one. | |
