Our Locations

Serving the Weston Community since 2001

 

Our primary site, Weston King Neighbourhood Centre (WKNC) has been providing essential frontline services for nearly 20 years. Since our founding, we have been able to expand our services which now include meal services, housing services, harm reduction services, laundry and shower services, and warm referrals to many other resources in the Weston and Toronto area. 

 

Located in the heart of the Weston community at Weston Road and King Street, WKNC is open to all and operates 6 days a week to best serve our participants.
