Ryan’s Hope Christmas Promo, 2023


For most of us, Christmas is a time to be with family, to appreciate fine food and drink, and to enjoy the company of good friends.

Sadly, for a growing portion of our population, this special time has become a period of darkness, when the homeless and destitute members of our society are acutely aware of their isolation, vulnerability, and exposure.

At Ryan's Hope, they call these people their friends.

This volunteer-driven group was started by Christine and Tom Nayler, in memory and honour of their son Ryan. Their mission is to advocate for and support people living with mental illness, substance use issues, and homelessness.

As a grassroots benevolent organization, the volunteers of Ryan's Hope pride themselves on their ability to listen and recognize the individual needs of those they are serving. They also provide connections to other community supports as needed.

Thanks to the many community partnerships they have formed, they are able to provide grocery support and household supplies to those who are housed but struggling financially, welcome kits for people when they become housed, and supplies for those living in encampments. They serve a community breakfast three days a week, run a once-a-week laundry service, and offer many other forms of support.

They also provide on a daily basis, community, connection, and confidence.

All Ryan's Hope programs are powered by human kindness!
