Recipient story
Help Build Skills and Belonging for people with various disabilities staying in Supported Independent Living
GIVIT
First Nations Support
Our recipients often live with a range of physical, intellectual, or psychosocial disabilities that can make social engagement, community access, and independent skill-building more challenging. Many experience isolation or limited opportunities to connect with others in meaningful ways.
In-home BBQs offer a comfortable, low-pressure environment where they can build social confidence, practice everyday skills like cooking and hosting, and enjoy positive interactions with peers and support staff. However, many individuals and their homes lack the resources to make these gatherings happen and any kind of help provides the tools needed to create safe, inclusive spaces where Supported Independent Living recipients can grow, connect, and feel a sense of belonging all from the comfort of their own home.
