Our Roots
WoodGreen started off as an East-end neighbourhood centre in 1937 and
while our mission has not changed, the breadth of our services and the way we
deliver them has evolved dramatically. From one location at 835 Queen Street, we
have grown to more than 15 locations throughout the East end of the city and
hundreds of partners that we collaborate with to meet the growing needs of our
clients.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver services that promote wellness and self-sufficiency, reduce
poverty and inequality, and build sustainable communities.We believe that the only way
to achieve this mission is to work closely with our clients to understand the many
barriers they face, and to help them access all the supports they need -- whether
these include housing, child care, employment training, help with a child who has
developmental challenges or care for seniors right in their home.
Our Commitment to Our Clients
At WoodGreen we are committed to providing our clients with equal access to services that
best reflect their individual needs. We value diversity and inclusiveness, and we believe
everyone has the right to be treated with respect, fairness and compassion. We are dedicated
to excellence, working together with many other partners across the city in order to bring
our clients the best services possible.
