My Way Home Winter Preparedness Initiative

The Innovation Centre and Ontario Health North East are delighted to share that our Winter Preparedness Initiative was an overwhelming success!  With the combined effort of 16 North East Community Support service organizations, we were able to support many individuals and families in the community.


Packages were delivered to 465 clients in the North East

The goal of the Winter Preparedness Initiative was to equip clients with essential items to ensure their safety and well-being throughout the winter season. Packages contained necessities such as warm blankets, mittens, and pantry items.

We are grateful for the support of all our partners who helped make this project possible. 


We are excited to share that this initiative will continue throughout 2024 with plans for one initiative per season!

We look forward to continuing to work together to ensure the best care and support for our clients.
