At Sakeenah, we believe in building sustainable systems of support — and we want you to be part of it. Our “Sponsor a Shelf” initiative allows generous donors like you to sponsor and stock a shelf at The People’s Market . Your monthly donation provides ongoing nourishment and dignity to families in need.
Select a monthly donation amount that aligns with your intention and ability. Each tier helps stock a different set of essential items. One-time donations are not available under this program.
TPM staff will purchase and stock the items on your behalf every month.
Your sponsored shelf provides food and household items to families who visit TPM.
Sponsor a full shelf for six consecutive months to have a personalized plaque placed under the shelf in your name.
You’ll be invited to visit TPM to help stock shelves and connect with other donors during special gatherings.
All updates will be shared via email or a dedicated WhatsApp group for sponsors.
Every night, thousands of women and children in Canada face homelessness, poverty, and trauma. We are on a mission to change that.
While Sakeenah functions at a national level, our head office and The People’s Market operate out of land that is part of the Treaty and Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot Nations.
Sakeenah believes that while a land acknowledgement is the first step, we also understand that land acknowledgements alone are not sufficient to redress the harm caused by centuries of land theft, forced displacement and ongoing acts of settler colonialism. We recognize that this work is ongoing and complex, and we are dedicated to doing our part to create a better future for all.
