There is still time to sponsor a rider for The Ride For The Journey this coming Saturday, August 24th!

I believe riding a bike can make a difference!

On August 24th The Purpose Riders are cycling from Brampton to Fort Erie, raising funds for The Journey Neighbourhood Centre. The Journey is focused on bringing hope and new life to the children, youth and families in Brampton’s Ardglen/Orenda neighbourhoods, a part of the city where many are facing significant barriers.  

We would love to have your support for my Ride For The Journey.  If you’re able to, please donate HERE

Thanks for supporting the ride!

Just A Reminder!

Housing Support

The Region of Peel has been in touch with The Journey and twice a week, starting this Thursday, August 8^th they will have Housing Support Workers on site at The Journey to assess your needs and to assist you. 

The Housing Support Workers will:

• assess the needs of each impacted tenant/family
• develop in partnership with families, plans to address their needs
• assist families in finding temporary or permanent housing, starting with options closest to Ardglen and working out from there
• provide financial assistance where tenants are eligible and using existing eligibility criteria – this may include rent subsidies, assistance with last month’s rent, payments for storage and moving costs etc.
• transportation assistance (bus tickets)
• support the families to move into their new permanent or temporary homes by making connections and referrals to needed services and supports
• make referrals to other services and supports as required

If you would like to meet with a Housing Support Worker.  Email Kevin Birmingham (kevin.b@thejourneymail.ca), or drop in and fill out a form and we will set a time.  The workers will be here at The Journey from 1:00pm through 3:15pm on Thursday, August 8^th.  They will then be here twice a week afterwards!

Each year in August Brampton’s Purpose Riders raise funds for The Journey Neighbourhood Centre.  This year on August 24, 2019, the Purpose Riders will be completing a 200km fundraising ride to Fort Erie.  If you would like to sponsor the team, or join the team for this ride, just click on the link above in our Menu Bar – Ride For The Journey.
