St. Vincent de Paul Society of Kingston

We are looking for volunteers to spend a hour fitting a client with clothes. For work, job interview, wedding, get some new threads or whatever reason. We take donations of gently used clothes that we fit to men. The Mission for Well Suited Kingston is to promote the economic independence of men in need, by providing suitable attire, career development tools and essential life-skills helping them enter the workforce, stay employed and become community role models

Our Mission To promote, encourage and conduct responsible hiking and similar self-propelled activities while stewarding the Rideau Trail network.

Galilee Centre is a relatively small organization with an operating budget of about $0.75 million, with land, buildings and a scenic waterfront which is the envy of the neighbourhood! We define our catchment area as the “Eastern Ontario Triangle” described by the line of a) Pembroke-Ottawa-Cornwall, b) Cornwall-Brockville Kingston, and c) Kingston-Pembroke, and thereby includes those municipalities such as Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Almonte/Mississippi Mills and, of course, Galilee’s hometown of Arnprior among its client areas. Galilee has a 40-year history, and is a not-for-profit corporation with a charitable designation with CRA. We are governed by a small 8-10 member Policy Board which is accountable to the Membership of Galilee Centre and accountable for operational results managed by an Executive Director. As a retreat organization, Galilee Centre offers programs, services and facilities that are open to all, whether of a faith orientation (churched or un-churched), people of no-faith and people of various ethnic, cultural or religious backgrounds, in an open, Christian-oriented manner.
