Our friend Jacob left this world on October 19th 2026, and the community won’t ever be the same.

Jacob loved to draw, wear hats, all things marvel comics, and listening to AC/DC - he often let us know when the music wasn’t to his taste.

He was also quite a smart Alec — if you caught him on the right day. Here he is giving that wry smile only he could give. He pretended like he didn’t want us to celebrate his birthday last year, but he seemed to love the attention. We will forever miss him coming through our doors with a “Question.”

Rest easy Jacob. You are known and loved ♥️

We’re so glad the The Help Centre brought this Municipal Election Resource to this morning’s Community Breakfast. It sparked some wonderfully thoughtful conversations about the importance of voting in local elections and having a voice in shaping our community.

Meaningful change starts in our own backyards. And at the end of the day, we all want the same thing — a healthy, thriving community.

Monday’s Thanksgiving meal at Calvary Baptist Church was a beautiful reminder of what happens when a community shows up for one another. It takes a village to make a gathering like this happen: 5 turkeys, 4 hams, mountains of roasted veggies & mashed potato’s, endless desserts, and over 18 dedicated volunteers — including local students and teachers from St. Mary’s — working together.

But the most important ingredient was the space we held for each other.

Thank you for the support from Northumberland Fare Share Food Bank, Food 4 All Northumberland and MillStone Bread, The Help Centre, Black Cat Cobourg, and
Calvary Baptist Church, Cobourg for hosting.

Our Breakfast Club will continue on for this coming Thanksgiving Monday! You can find us with your favourites from 9am-11am on October 12th 💖

Green Wood Coalition started with a simple but deeply connecting act: sharing a meal together. 20 years later and we're still carrying the tradition here in Port Hope at our weekly Breakfast Club.

A huge thank you to United Way for their generous grant, which helps us purchase the ingredients that our incredible volunteers use to prepare their most popular and delicious breakfast dishes each and every week.

Please join us! Everyone is welcome to come, we serve from 9am-11am every Monday at our Port Hope Hive (100 Peter St, Upper Level)

We’re pleased to share that a new RedPath Recovery Program will begin Tuesday, October 27.

Tuesdays 1–3pm
October 27 2026 - March 30 2027

Closed Group
Registration Required

Over 21 structured sessions, RedPath offers a space to explore our personal stories, recognize the patterns that may keep us stuck, and practice new ways of responding.

Through conversation, storytelling and reflection, participants explore emotional awareness, accountability and connection.

RedPath addresses recovery from habit-forming behaviours and substance use, while also looking at the whole person and overall wellness. Participants are offered tools and a supportive space to explore the impact of trauma, connect with deeper emotions, and discover new ways forward.

We look forward to walking this journey alongside participants.

With much gratitude to Cameco Community for making this program possible through the Cameco Step Up for Mental Health Grant.

Fall is an invitation to slow down, let go of what no longer serves us, and make room for something new.

Join us Monday afternoons at St. Paul’s Church in Port Hope for gentle, inclusive yoga followed by meaningful conversation, reflection and connection.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to release old stories, reconnect with ourselves, and lean into the support of community.

A space to move, breathe, be heard and remember that we don’t have to do it all alone.

Mondays 1-3pm
October 19-March 22
131 Walton St. Port Hope
west entrance

Complimentary and welcoming to all.

With heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsor Northumberland United Way for helping make Whole & Well possible.
