Seniors Groups
Working with seniors has been a rewarding professional experience. I have identified their needs and strengths to create programs that contribute to their overall well-being. When supporting seniors my goal is to build on their mental, social, emotional, and physical skills. I have incorporated my Yoga Training into serving the seniors community by facilitating a chair fitness class accessible to any level, anyone is welcome to participate and benefit from what this practice has to offer.
Free-Clothing Market
The Free- Clothing Market idea was born as a response to the needs of the pantry community at Acorn2Oak, Mississauga. Acorn2Oak allowed me to implement this program at the agency and to run it biweekly. Individuals who live with food insecurity in most cases struggle to meet other basic needs as well, like staying warm in the winter. Winter is particularly challenging for the homeless population, they do not have shelter to protect themself from the low temperatures and they do not have access to the appropriate clothing to face the inclement weather. My vision was to create a store where they can obtain clothing at no cost and where they are treated with respect and dignity. They not only need a coat they need a kind smile who makes them feel welcome and accepted.
