Contribute Funds

OLS can now receive charitable tax donations!

Contribute Ideas

The intent of our feedback form is to gather your ideas and suggestions about programs and initiatives which could help people successfully exit homelessness.

Contribute to Dental Fund

One of the biggest barriers we face is enabling people to exit homelessness with a healthy smile. Ontario Works (OW) and Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) benefits do not provide enough funding for complex dental needs. Donors to OLS's Dental Fund can now receive Charitable Tax Receipts!

Contribute Time

Engaging with people in from all areas of the Kingston community, in meaningful conversation and activities, will help people without homes build resilience.  Volunteers will be encouraged to participate in OLS’s trauma informed education and courses. 

Types of volunteer activities could include:

Joining OLS's Street Outreach Team

Informal Life Skills education (cooking, doing laundry, meal-planning, budgeting etc)

Supporting Alumni once they're Housed

Planting Trees with OLS's Forest Care Team

Helping fill educational gaps

Furnishings and soft goods, bedding, personal touches

Skills training- knitting, music, carpentry, needlework, breadmaking, coding etc

Entertainment- movie screenings, workshops, musical performances
