Abode Community Service Centre

Abode Community Service Centre (ACSC) was founded in 2017. This came about when there were inadequate culturally sensitive services available to the culturally diverse population in Toronto’s Urban demographic areas. Not long after, it became overwhelmingly clear that there is a huge gap between the marginalized groups of these demographic areas, access to basic life essentials such as food, health promotion and social connectedness. This population was found to be grossly disempowered.

ACSC service these priority neighbourhoods.

Our targeted groups include seniors, families, single parents, children, and youths. Our services include food procurement and delivery to seniors, families, social connectedness, health promotion and mental health support services.

Who You Are as an Organization?

We are a non-for-profit, non-political and non-sectarian organization with charitable status. The ACCT is proud to be a focal point for all Arab and non-Arab communities to find an outlet for settlement and social services.

In the early years following its inception, as its name suggests, it served Arab Canadians in our community. Being the non-sectarian organization that it is, ACCT has expanded its services to those of all heritage, religious and ethnic backgrounds over the years to reflect the growing diversity among our newcomers.

As a not-for-profit organization, ACCT strives for equity and inclusivity in its delivery of settlement and social services for newcomers through socially-just means. It also provides employment services, support groups, information sessions, translation, interpretation, transportation, and various classes, among many others, to empower immigrants to become self-sufficient, productive, and contributing members of society. This support continues even after the individuals they serve become Canadian citizens, which reinforces their strong commitment to accountability.

To support newcomers in obtaining citizenship and integrating into Canadian society, ACCT provides citizenship test preparation classes on an ongoing weekly basis, as well as classes to help individuals improve their English proficiency

Due to the growing needs of vibrant communities for settlement and social services, ACCT expanded its outreach and services in the past two years to include more than 10,718 newcomers of all ethnic and religious backgrounds (47.5% of whom are females).
