Christine’s Place Hand-Up Approach to Tangible Support

Everyone’s journey is unique, and meeting immediate, practical needs is essential before making major decisions. At Christine’s Place, we offer practical support tailored to each individual’s needs, assisting with everyday necessities.

Additionally, our local community partnerships enhance our ability to support families, providing that extra hand-up when needed.

If you are a community member interested in becoming a community partner, please connect with our Executive Director at admin@christinesplace.org

Christine’s Place collaborates with Kids Collective, a local business in Huntsville that offers new and previously loved clothing for your little ones. Donations can be taken and credited to our “Christine's Place Account,” which is then handled as credit that is passed on in the form of gift cards to our client families needing practical support. This hand-up approach provides our families with a wider range of inventory that more efficiently meets their needs while allowing us to focus on the unique services we offer our community.

Providing individuals with this service gives parents the respect and responsibility to make choices while providing for their families. This positive approach to supporting clients has been far more rewarding than handing them an outfit that involved no input nor decision-making on their part. We are thankful for our valued relationship with Kids Collective Muskoka!
