Members, please remember to complete your $200 individual donation to the Elizabeth Fry Society of Simcoe Muskoka by November 1st.

We’re pleased to support their incredible work in our community, including programs like Ethen’s Place. Thank you for helping us make a difference 💛

"Youth homelessness is about so much more than not having a place to live. It is about young people navigating incredibly difficult circumstances, often without the safety nets many of us take for granted. Through Ethen's Place and our Oxford Street Transitional Housing Program, we are helping youth build a foundation for a brighter future. Ripple of Kindness's generosity is an incredible example of what happens when a community comes together to invest in its young people. This support will make a meaningful difference in their lives, both today and for years to come."
- Meaghan Chambers, Executive Director

We're thrilled to announce our Fall Donation recipient is the Elizabeth Fry Society Simcoe Muskoka!

“We are incredibly honoured to be selected as Ripple of Kindness Orillia’s Fall 2026 recipient. This generous support will directly support our Youth Rapid Rehousing Program in Orillia, Ethen’s Place, strengthening 24/7 on-site support, life-skills development, and individualized case management. Most importantly, it will help youth meet basic needs and build the stability and confidence they need to move toward independence and permanent housing. Knowing that the Orillia community is standing behind these young people and investing in their futures is incredibly meaningful. We are deeply grateful to Ripple of Kindness Orillia and every member making this possible.”
- Meaghan Chambers, Executive Director
