With limited resources, this can be challenging. Clients select needed items from our master list to ease their transition and reduce financial strain. We share their wish lists on our private Facebook group and members sign up to donate gently used items. Our goal is to collect and pack all items within 5 days, typically achieving a 72-hour turnaround, thanks to our dedicated volunteers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/1591115826889-B7OY9J7ZJBXMBDSUVDUA/donate-concept-box-topview.png About Us https://www.thefreshstartprojectontario.com/sponsors-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/d3a602bb-a771-4d1c-955f-04d26f725bae/the+root.jpg Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/1588962008312-3GFCAVLDXDRF342ZB0N9/world+meats.png Sponsors - “World Meats generously provides a box of meat and vegetables for each client, providing them with high quality protein products to help with meals to come and to boost their grocery budget when they first move.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/1616369298571-9KRFJDNUD6IE478P4YC1/service+master+clean.jpg Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/32426c49-d23d-4079-97a6-8d55d04a7ec4/copper+beech+pototography.png Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/7183f0bf-1958-4ace-947c-eab7c5f23629/BalleauPapier+business+card+3.5x2+outlines+bleed.png Sponsors - Deborah Ballew is our website designer and is providing Graphic Design needs to The Fresh Start Project.

They grew up on the same street and enjoyed sharing everything from clothes to vacations to friends. Jenna is a mom to an energetic 18-month-old daughter that keeps her and her husband on their toes. When she's not chasing after her daughter Jenna enjoys spending her time at the dance studio or playing soccer. Katrina is mom to a strong-willed two-year-old daughter and enjoys spending time with her family, including her fiancé and Great Dane, outdoors. The girls are slowly learning that they are destined to be life-long best friends, just like their moms. After finding opportunities to volunteer with the Fresh Start Project in Etobicoke, Katrina couldn’t help but jump on the opportunity to bring the organization’s mission and values to Niagara. And who better to co-found the Niagara chapter than her best friend, Jenna? Katrina and Jenna are looking forward to supporting families in the Niagara community with gently used items to fill their new homes as they embark on their Fresh Start. https://www.thefreshstartprojectontario.com/community-chatter daily 0.75 2024-09-18 https://www.thefreshstartprojectontario.com/north-toronto-chapter daily 0.75 2021-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/af3439ea-6e02-483c-9a13-22d277eeafbf/north+toronto+chapter+logo.png North Toronto Chapter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/7aff5a82-df23-421d-9f60-b63d2bbe247d/kelly+malcolm+north+toronto.JPG North Toronto Chapter - Team member Kelly Malcolm welcomes you to The Fresh Start Project North Toronto. I am a mom of amazing 13 year old boy-girl twins who keep me busy with their activities, socializing and zest for life! When I am not busy with them (or operating my business), I love walking with friends, spending time with my family, going for a run, reading a good book, watching a great movie or planning our next adventure. Prior to COVID I was actively engaged as a volunteer at my children’s elementary school but they graduated early on in COVID which left me with a volunteer void! Fortunately, I happened upon The Fresh Start Project and reached out to ask if they operated in Toronto. When I found out they were Mississauga and Burlington based I saw my opportunity to start TFSP North Toronto Chapter. In July 2021 I kicked off the chapter and in September 2021, we had the privilege of helping our first family! https://www.thefreshstartprojectontario.com/warm-welcome daily 0.75 2025-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/a2eea55b-19ce-4eed-b1ee-d27c12ead3bb/welcome1.jpeg Warm Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/0f8c5e1d-f2e8-4b99-a02c-5331c3d3faeb/welcome2.jpeg Warm Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/ca005526-f37f-45df-bd3e-a9c4248c05f1/welcome3.jpeg Warm Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/a29d3d3a-2905-4379-aa24-5d740e90d158/welcome4.jpeg Warm Welcome https://www.thefreshstartprojectontario.com/giving-thanks daily 0.75 2025-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8fd635cad98043b4fc0e07/57bd9c33-2fd8-47f5-bdd9-d0edd3dd961f/ann-YtJQ-jma-SE-unsplash.jpg Giving Thanks I had the honour of leading the 2024 Giving Thanks Program, through which we supported nine families. Each received all the essentials to prepare a hearty and delicious Thanksgiving meal-including seasonal decor, fresh vegetables, gravy, pie for dessert, and a gift card to purchase the protein of their choice. Every item was thoughtfully packed into a box and hand-delivered to each family’s doorstep. All nine families were empowered to cook a special, home-cooked meal for their loved ones-bringing warmth, nourishment, and meaningful connection to their Thanksgiving celebrations.

I’m Kristi and I’m over-the-moon thrilled to introduce myself as The Fresh Start Project: Sarnia Area Chapter Lead! I’m a fiercely proud Momma of 4 fabulous humans and wildly passionate about my feather and fur babies! My roots are deeply planted in Sarnia and most often, you will find me with my hands in the dirt or holding a book. I spend my working days immersed in a classroom with super awesome kiddos and our future leaders. It’s funny how things just have a way of taking shape - over popcorn and prosecco Nancy and Sue’s success story was shared and I immediately knew this was the nudge I was waiting for!
