The Sheila Koffman Fund

Sheila Koffman was a community builder, advocate, and from 2009 to 2016, she helped guide PARC as co-chair of PARC’s Board of Directors. As the founder of Another Story Bookshop, she spent over three decades championing equity, diversity, and social justice. Before her passing, Sheila established the Sheila Koffman Fund at PARC through the proceeds of her home, a gift that enabled the purchase of four buildings now converted into supportive housing for people exiting homelessness. Her legacy continues through the Fund and an ongoing partnership with Another Story and her brother, Joel Koffman, whose support helps sustain PARC’s work and
carry forward Sheila’s legacy.

Delta Bingo with Rotary Club of Parkdale-High Park Humber

PARC partners with the Rotary Club of Parkdale-High Park-Humber through Delta Bingo Downsview and the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association to generate revenue that supports our programs. Since relaunching, the partnership has strengthened our volunteer base and provided reliable program funding. We are especially grateful to volunteer William Leblanc for his dedication and consistency, and to the Rotary Club for their ongoing support.

Max and Sarah Fine

For Max and Sarah, supporting PARC is about investing in the neighbourhood they call home. They were drawn to PARC’s grassroots work, particularly its focus on housing and creating a welcoming community. Their giving is rooted in a belief in supporting local needs and strengthening stability in Parkdale. They see housing as the foundation for a secure life and hope their support helps PARC continue to build safety, stability, and connection for their neighbours. Thank you Max and Sarah!
