The Working Centre

Description

We represent vital projects in the downtown that support over 500 individuals daily. The projects of The Working Centre and St. John ’s Kitchen provide innovative supports that create a spirit of neighbours looking after each other. These projects and the ideas behind them continue to grow. Since its foundation in 1982, The Working Centre has supported grass-roots, cooperative, self-directed, skill-based learning. A school where people gain competencies in word-processing, resumé writing, job hunting, computer repair, sewing, cooking, gardening, papermaking, retailing, construction, renovation, bicycle repair, and other skills. We rely on your contributions to make this creative work possible. This work of community, from serving meals, to providing housing, to recycling bikes is primarily supported by volunteers and financial donations. Almost 40% of our funds come from the generous donations of individuals, groups, service clubs, events, businesses, churches and schools. For your contribution to our work you will receive our quarterly newspaper, Good Work News that reports on ecology, book reviews, the changing nature of work, and inspiring stories of the time honoured methods of self reliance. We are asking for your support because our work is so important to the many people who rely on us. For more information about our projects, please read our fundraising letter .
