145 walkers registered for Coldest Night of the Year and over 100 turned up in person on Saturday February 25th to walk in support of those in the community
When Mike Peasgood, Dave Kroetsch, and Steffen Lindner were business partners they created a habit of engaging with their staff through social catch-ups which always included chocolate. This social time became known as Chocolate Time and was a tradition that carried with Mike, Dave, and Steffen throughout their careers.
Through a generous donation by Mike, Dave, and Steffen SHOW residents at 144 Erb now have their own community space for Chocolate Time!
This generous gift allowed SHOW to renovate an underused space to create a new community room, as well as a new office space for our Case Manager, Idah.
For over a year Eugene and Lucky had been staying in temporary shelters across Waterloo Region. Eugene was dealing with numerous health issues and being in the shelter system was scary for him.
The holiday season is a time for reflecting on the past year, imagining what the future holds and appreciating the blessings we have received.
This year has been a difficult one for many. With rising interest rates and an increased cost of living, countless individuals struggling. For those already marginalized and vulnerable, the struggle has become even more difficult.
HAVE YOU HEARD THE GREAT NEWS? Supportive Housing of Waterloo (SHOW) will be participating in their second annual Coldest Night of the Year event on February 25th, 2023 - it's a 5km walk, and all the funds raised will go towards providing affordable housing options and supports to marginalized members of our community.

Melanie lived at Supportive Housing of Waterloo (SHOW) before coming to Innisfree House. This is the story of her stay with us, including the perspective of her sister Shawna, who couldn't travel from Alberta to visit during the pandemic.
