10% of my proceeds from services offered on this website
will go to awesome local charities like these:

541 Eatery & Exchange is a café operated by volunteers who believe that everyone deserves access to good food. We give people the opportunity to help someone else pay for their meal by "buying buttons". Each button is worth $1, and anyone can use up to 5 buttons a day from the button jar to buy whatever they would like from the menu.​ We believe there is dignity in choice, and that eating together fosters a diverse community of belonging around the table.​ We use our space and proceeds from food sales to host free community groups.
 The Working Centre  was established in the spring of 1982 as a response to unemployment and poverty in downtown Kitchener. Our main projects give people access to tools to create their own work combined with continuous ways of learning and co-operating. We organize our projects into six areas: the Job Search Resource Centre, St. John’s Kitchen, Community Tools, Access to Technology, Affordable Supportive Housing and the Waterloo School for Community Development.
Restorations Second Stage Homes exists to provide specialized, long-term, holistic care for victims of commercial sexual exploitation in Canada, and to contribute to their rehabilitation and reintegration in society by offering a long-term residential care program including counseling and other health and support services. The core of our work is building and nurturing trusting, long-term relationships between survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and staff, volunteers and the wider community in order to establish a foundation for recovery, healing, empowerment and success.
A Shared Table is a transformational event company that uses FOOD + STORIES + ART to design cross-cultural experiences that inspire authentic and inclusive community.  Our events offer a space of: PRESENCE where we seek to see, hear and be with each other; PRACTICE where we practice radical hospitality, mutual reciprocity and authentic belonging; PLAY where we allow our whole selves to practice fun, curiosity and spontaneity; and POSSIBILITY where we use our imagination as a guide for helping us consider what could be. We set A Shared Table of FOOD + STORIES + ART so we have: a safe space to "own who we are and build the world we want to live in," (Monica Diaz); and a consistent space to platform the creative and cultural genius of Hamilton's racialized minority community members.
Born from the vision of Chief Dr. Robert Joseph, Gwawaenuk Elder, Reconciliation Canada is leading the way in engaging Canadians in dialogue and transformative experiences that revitalize the relationships among Indigenous peoples and all Canadians.
Our model for reconciliation engages people in open and honest conversation to understand our diverse histories and experiences. We actively engage multi-faith and multi-cultural communities to explore the meaning of reconciliation. Together, we are charting a New Way Forward. Each person has an important role to play in reconciliation. Reconciliation begins with oneself and then extends into our families, relationships, workplaces and eventually into our communities.
At Tent of Nations, our mission is to build bridges between people, and between people and the land. We bring different cultures together to develop understanding and promote respect for each other and our shared environment.
To realize this mission, we run educational projects at Daher’s Vineyard, our organic farm, located in the hills southwest of Bethlehem, Palestine. Our farm is a  center where people from many different countries come together to learn, to  share, and to build bridges of understanding and hope.
At the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we offer workcamps and volunteer opportunities; we run children’s summer camps and a Women’s Empowerment Project, and we welcome groups and visitors of all shapes and sizes. 

Parent Circle / Families Forum
The Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF) is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of over 600 families, all of whom have lost an immediate family member to the ongoing conflict. These families identified with a call to prevent bereavement , to promote dialogue,  tolerance, reconciliation and peace. 

The PCFF has concluded that the process of reconciliation between nations is a prerequisite to achieving a sustainable peace. The organization thus utilizes all resources available in education, public meetings and the media, to spread these ideas. PCFF is registered as a nonprofit organization, professionally managed by a joint Israeli-Palestinian board and a professional team operating from two offices: the Palestinian office in Beit Jala and the Israeli office in Ramat Ef’al.
