ACTS aims to transform crises into opportunities. People come to us feeling humiliated or dejected, much as a play’s first act finishes on a cliffhanger. To promote optimism and self-sufficiency, we offer emergency assistance grants, housing programs for single individuals, and feeding programs for low-income seniors. Our objective is to help our neighbours begin their “Second Acts.” Even objects given to our thrift shop begin their “Second Acts,” preparing to be appreciated in new homes.
