OUR IMPACT
The impact we make in Mount Dennis
Last year, neighbours turned to JANS more than ever — and Mount Dennis showed up. Our food bank kept 1,600 people fed every month. Seniors learned to video-call their grandchildren. Newcomer families put down roots, and our new employment services opened doors to work and training. None of it happens without this community behind us.
