We celebrated the remarkable journeys of Karen and Tammy, two extraordinary individuals who bid farewell to our program in March. Tammy's exceptional leadership as House Monitor shone brightly, and both women served as beacons of hope, mentoring numerous women over the years. Our recovery house stands apart from sober living environments, where senior residents help guide newcomers through their recovery journey with established guidelines, structure, and expectations, fostering growth and inspiration. Karen and Tammy have graduated to new chapters, spreading their wings in their own spaces. Though they may no longer reside with us, their commitment to our programs remains unwavering, volunteering alongside Randy at Wesley United Church, baking for Harvesting Hope, helping with Meals in a Hurry and participating in alumni events. Their absence is deeply felt, yet we deeply appreciate their ongoing involvement and dedication to supporting those who struggle with addiction, wishing them a well-deserved future filled with peace and promise.

Did you know that half of Canadians experience a mental illness by the time they're 40?

Many don't know where to ask for help, or feel too embarrassed or ashamed to do so.

This is why, every year, Porchlight organizes Cambridge Moves for Mental Health -- to fight the stigma and spread the news that accessible help exists in our community!

This year's Cambridge Moves for Mental Health is on May 2nd.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility! A time to recognize and celebrate trans people in our community.

In Cambridge, North Dumfries, and across Waterloo Region, trans people are our neighbours, friends, coworkers, and leaders. Their presence strengthens the community we all share.

Visibility matters because it creates space for people to live openly and authentically.

This is the work Porchlight is part of every day: helping build a community where people are not only seen, but supported, respected, and able to access the care they need.

Creating that kind of community takes all of us.

Throughout this winter, Porchlight's Warming Centre has been able to provide warm & dry socks to members of our community thanks to a generous donation from ToastyToes Waterloo Region.

Warm feet make an incredible difference on cold days, and both we and our guests are grateful for this support.

As the month of Ramadan comes to a close, we extend our warmest wishes to everyone in our community celebrating Eid al-Fitr.

Eid is a time of reflection, generosity, and coming together with family and community. We are grateful to work alongside many Muslim clients, staff, and neighbours who enrich our community every day.

May this Eid bring peace, joy, and connection to all who are celebrating.

Eid Mubarak.
