PARC’s Drop-In Centre has been a constant, welcoming presence in Parkdale for over 45 years. It is one of the few community spaces in Toronto that is open 365 days a year — including weekends and holidays — because we know that need doesn’t take a day off.
Anyone is welcome to walk in. You don’t need a referral, an appointment, or a reason. Just come through the door.
