The Foundation’s sole purpose is to assist Rossbrook House in conducting its programs and operations. Created in 2006, Rossbrook House Foundation exists to help Rossbrook House respond to the growing need to provide a safe place and services to children and youth coming through its doors. The Foundation serves to help Sister MacNamara’s mission, and that of Rossbrook House, that “No child who does not want to be alone, should ever have to be.” Rossbrook House Foundation provides supporters of Rossbrook’s mission with a vehicle to make financial contributions, including monthly giving, one-time gifts, bequests and more! These gifts will go directly to supporting the day to day activities and programs for Rossbrook House participants and their families. Rossbrook House... In 1976 Sister Geraldine MacNamara and a group of inner city young people created Rossbrook House, a neighbourhood drop-in centre with a simple mission: “No child who does not want to be alone, should ever have to be.” In the decades since, it has become a safe place for children and youth to belong, play, learn and become... Today, over 1,000 children and youth ages 6-24 years come through the doors annually and up to 80 participants on a daily basis. Beyond being a safe place to be, Rossbrook has three alternative school programs, an afterschool homework club, young mom’s group, sports and recreational activities, Aboriginal cultural activities, leadership activities, a music program and a healthy kitchen program that provides daily meals to participants while teaching them about healthy eating and cooking.
