Hello everyone,
We hope everyone is well. With Ontario moving into Phase 3 of our reopening plan and health and safety guidelines in mind, we are proud to announce we are concluding our initiative! Alongside the Gathering Place, we decided to adapt our packages to be more useful to vulnerable populations. Instead of the “winter supplies” category, we have included resources to protect from weather conditions and everyday occurences, such as reusable bags, disinfectant wipes and water bottles. You can learn more about our packages here. In addition, we have been able to raise enough funds to put together First-Aid Kits for distribution at the Gathering Place as well. You can learn more about our First Aid Kits here. Once again we would like to thank everyone for their support.
Thank you very very much,
Lucas, Lisa and Adeolu.
Founders of the Together Initiative.

Our PurposeThese are unexpected and trying times for all of us. Unfortunately, the vulnerable population was affected the worst by the COVID-19 pandemic, with limited access to information and resources. With that in mind, this is the Together Initiative. It is a project to raise money and awareness for the vulnerable population of North Bay. The funds raised were put towards getting public supplies and put into care packages for distribution at The North Bay Gathering Place. Check out our Reports page for more information.
