We’re so happy to hear about this affordable housing project happening in Gravenhurst! 🏠❤️

Access to safe, stable, and affordable housing is an important part of building a strong, healthy community. We’re encouraged to see investments being made that will help create more housing options for local residents.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have in our community.

A big thank you to Mind-Aid Muskoka for supporting our YAC program with fun activities and providing an opportunity to relax and connect in your amazing Mobile Youth Hub. Your presence helps create welcoming spaces where young people can feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. We’re grateful!

Our Mobile Hub is out and about, doing cool things in the community!

Like hanging out with young people who are part of the Youth Adult Centre (YAC) at Gravenhurst Against Poverty. A few weeks ago, Kelly showed the youth how to do alcohol ink on tiles and the youth got to design their own unique buttons to take home.

We had so much fun and can’t wait to head back there soon!

A heartfelt thank you to the team at Sander Motor Sales for generously renting a vehicle to us at a reduced cost so we could pick up meals in Orillia.

Support like this from our local business community helps us continue serving our neighbours and making sure important resources reach those who need them most. We’re truly grateful for the community spirit and support.

🥬 800 pounds of cabbage = one very serious upper-body workout. 💪😅

Pictured here, Shawn, Dave, and Ardyn “hand-bombing” cabbages down the stairs like seasoned members of the underground produce brigade. 🥬📦

Thanks to a generous allocation from Feed Ontario, GAP now has a whole lot of cabbage ready to help feed our community — and possibly enough coleslaw for the next decade. 😉

GAP is truly fortunate to have volunteers with a wide range of skills contributing to the ongoing work of supporting our neighbours. 💚

Pictured here are Mariane Sayers, GAP Gardens Coordinator and GAP Board member, Brian Purvis, completing repairs to some of the 33 garden boxes that help grow fresh produce for our neighbours.

Thank you both for quietly stepping up and doing what needs to be done — your care and dedication make a meaningful difference every day. 🌱

We are always happy to welcome new garden volunteers! If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact the GAP office at 705-641-2225.

We’re so happy to welcome Brittany Corcoran back to GAP as part of our Wellness Program. 💚

Brittany, a Community Outreach Addictions Counsellor with Community Mental Health (CMHA), will once again be available at GAP on Tuesdays from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. to connect with neighbours in a welcoming and supportive environment.

For Brittany, wellness is about building community, creating connections, and simply being a friendly face people can approach. She hopes to continue being that caring presence for anyone who needs support, conversation, or connection.

When Marie Little, GAP’s Food Lead, learned Brittany was returning, she shared how much of an impact Brittany has had on neighbours in the past. “Just having that smiling, friendly face there means a lot,” she said.

Brittany says she is proud to live and work in Gravenhurst and spoke about the important role GAP plays in the community, calling it “a staple — a place where people can belong and feel connected to one another.” She believes there is something truly special about GAP, rooted in the deep compassion and care shown to neighbours every day.

She also emphasized that at GAP, there is no need for a “cheat code” to access kindness, compassion, and support — everyone is welcome.

We are grateful to have Brittany back at GAP and look forward to the connections and care she will continue to bring to our community. 🌟
