Congratulations Karen's Place London
Share with your friends to spread the word!
Karen’s Place is a transitional home in London, Ontario, created to provide housing for women over 50 who are experiencing homelessness. These women often face unique challenges, such as being turned away from shelters due to bed shortages, as spaces are frequently prioritized for women with children.
Karen’s Place offers residents up to two years of safe housing, meals, and support to help them regain their independence. The home is named in memory of Karen Crich, known for her generosity and community spirit.
The initiative is sustained through public donations and the efforts of volunteers, aiming to offer not just shelter, but dignity and hope. Services will include essentials like clothing and grooming, as well as access to mental health support, with the goal of helping women rebuild their lives. The home is expected to open soon, becoming the first facility of its kind in London exclusively for women over 50 facing homelessness.
BGC London is a community organization that delivers safe and fun activities for children and youth whenever school is out. We also provide day-time programming for adults 50 and over. Their members benefit from development opportunities that foster leadership skills and provide practical work experience.
Their programming is designed with these goals in mind:
To provide hope, inspiration, and opportunities to help people reach their full potential
To promote physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being
To support young people as they cultivate success in school, form positive relationships, and mature into healthy, responsible and caring adults.
About
#IronstoneImpact
A tradition that started in 2020 to celebrate the Ironstone Building Company’s 10 year anniversary, Ironstone Impact has become an annual event where Ironstone donated $100,000 over the span of 10 weeks to 10 selected organizations that make an impact in the City of London. With each year’s success, we find ourselves giving more, and last year we gave $130,000 over 8 weeks. This year, we are donating $140,000 to charities that impact our community of London.
With this years donations, we will have donated
$600,000
“Allan and I want to give back to the community,” said Dave Stimac, Ironstone President & Co-founder. “We are born and raised Londoners with a strong attachment to the city. We build here, we employ trades and suppliers here and we know organizations are having a hard time.”
