Social Services

We work with people living in the City and County of Peterborough that need help with the cost of food, shelter, childcare, or, finding a job.

If you need help with money right away, you may want to apply to the ONTARIO WORKS  program to see if you can access some funds for housing, food and some other personal needs.
