Our work is grounded in lived experience and community connection with programs that address the key social determinants of health, including housing, primary care access, food security, income stability, and social inclusion. The Drop-In is often the first point of contact with PARC, a welcoming space for a warm meal, connection, and a range of social and recreational activities. Often called “Parkdale’s Living Room,” it is an open, low-barrier space where people can come and go freely, connect with others, and access supports as needed.
