Your Gracious Gifts Sustain Us
Our Essential Care Program is a fundamental pillar of Regeneration. The ability to provide our guests with basic human needs such as food and clothing is vital for their survival. As such, we graciously accept donations at our Regeneration Marketplace location at 253 Queen Street East.

Guest Experiences
Meet Charlie – A Regeneration Transformation
Charlie came to Regeneration in his 50s. He was experiencing homelessness, grieving his divorce, and dealing with heartbreak. COVID-19 caused him to lose his job and the temp agency he was working with simply didn’t provide enough regular income to live on.
