The Yonge Street Mission is committed to eradicating chronic poverty in Toronto in one generation.  Yet we recognize that poverty is too complex and diverse for one organization to conquer alone – we need to collaborate.

Our goal is embodied in our vision for vibrant communities of healthy, fully engaged citizens who can sustain themselves and their families. This vision is fueled by our belief in the dignity and value of each and every human being. Our approach addresses the root causes and systemic barriers of poverty with a flexible, carefully structured service model of holistic care.
