SUMMARY:2025 Bench Talks
DESCRIPTION:Bench Talks is back!\n\nBench Talks is a unique awareness and fundraising event hosted by The Downtown Mission.\n\nFor 24 continuous hours\, our Executive Director\, Rukshini Ponniah-Goulin\, a member of our Board of Directors\, and community members remain outside on a park bench — day and night — to spark important conversations about homelessness\, poverty\, and the Mission’s programs.\n\nDuring the event\, passersby are encouraged to stop\, ask questions\, and share dialogue. Guided tours of The Downtown Mission’s facilities are also offered\, giving the public an inside look at the services and programs that their support makes possible.\nFunds raised from Bench Talks directly support The Downtown Mission’s essential programs — including shelter services\, meals\, mental health supports\, youth programs\, and pathways to housing stability.\n\nThis year\, our goal is to raise $50\,000. Every dollar helps ensure that Windsor-Essex’s most vulnerable neighbors have a safe place to go and the support they need.\nHow to Support:\n Stop by in person to donate or bring much-needed items (non-perishable food\, snacks\, hygiene products\, clothing\, gift cards)\n Share this event to help spread the word\n Make a financial gift online  HERE   or start your own crowdfunding page\, set your own goal\, and help raise funds for this much needed cause.\n\n\nBegins: 11 AM Thursday\, October 2nd\nEnds: 11 AM Friday\, October 3rd (24hrs)\n875 Ouellette Ave (front lawn)
