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.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
