Services
With so many non-profit organizations in one building, clients can be served by more than one member organization. Services to clients include: English as a second language, adult literacy, child care, a cooperative laundry, resource and referral agencies and centres. Other organizations support people who have had strokes or suffer from an eating or anxiety disorder. Environmental and poverty awareness are the focus of some groups and weaving, spinning and art are the focus of others. There are opportunities for some clients to learn personal or employment skills while earning some income. Twice a year, everyone in Heartwood House comes together to run sales of lost and found items from the OC Transpo Lost and Found.
