Our Programs

Outreach: Amity House employs a full time Outreach Worker. Our Outreach Worker is a Registered Social Worker, who can assist people in need and connect people to resources.

Job Search Assistance: We can help prepare resumes, provide information about employment opportunities, fax your resume to employers, and provide referrals for clothing for job interviews.

Early Childhood Services: We offer workshops, activities and programs for parents of preschool children.

Teaching Tots: Teaching Tots is a licenced preschool program for 0-6 year olds. The program is geared towards low income families, with the goal of providing high quality, preschool enrichment program to ensure that all children start school on equal footing. Most of the children in our Teaching Tots program are children of newcomers to Canada, many are refugees of war torn countries, such as Sudan and Somalia. We believe that Parents are a childs first and best teacher, therefore we provide a Family Support Worker to work with the parents of children in the program, providing parenting information and support.

Support Groups: We run various support groups which change as needs arise. Some of the groups we run are Anger Management for Women and How to Talk so Kids Will Listen. See our newsletter or contact us for information on current programs.

Collective Kitchens: We offer the collective kitchens program, one of our longest running and most successful programs. Collective Kitchens brings people together in groups to plan meals and cook in bulk to save money and time.

Community Lunch: Amity House offers a free nutritious lunch to the community 2 times per month, with the goal of building community.

Swap Shop: Amity House collects clothing and small household donations, and has a ‘swap shop’ area where people in need can get these items.
