One of the popular programs we offer at Rosalie Hall is Voices Informed By Each-other, better known as VIBE. This six-week program runs bi-weekly throughout the year, inviting clients to share a warm meal, connect with other young families, and take part in meaningful conversations and learning on topics that matter most to them. At the end of each two-hour evening session, families also receive free groceries through our FoodShare program. Our hope is that participants leave with food, support, and a stronger sense of connection and belonging. During our Summer VIBE session, participants expressed interest in creative, social, and educational activities.
In July, we partnered with local female entrepreneur Laideen Thomas of Laideen & Co. Laideen Thomas - L&Co. Financial Group, who led an engaging workshop on developing a healthy financial mindset. Clients learned practical budgeting strategies aligned with their goals and explored the home-buying process through simple, accessible steps. Laideen also encouraged participants to approach their financial journeys with self-compassion, drawing on her own experiences as a young mother to connect authentically with our community.
In August, participants used their final two sessions to create vision boards with images, stickers, and words that reflected their personal goals, aspirations, and the positive steps they hope to take moving forward.
We extend our sincere thanks to community partners including Laideen Thomas - L&Co. Financial Group, Toronto Public Health, and WoodGreen Community Services for contributing to our Summer VIBE program. Your support helps young families envision new possibilities and continue their journey toward confidence, empowerment, and success.
