A Stratford, Ontario Community Initiative
Helping Our Neighbours.Strengthening Our Community.
Stratford Cares 100 brings neighbours together to support local organizations helping people experiencing homelessness and hardship. By encouraging 100 people to contribute $100 annually, we can create $10,000 in meaningful local support.
Why Stratford Cares 100
Real help is already here. Let's make it sustainable.
Stratford is home to dedicated organizations providing food, shelter, outreach and essential support. Stratford Cares 100 makes it easier for neighbours to come together and strengthen the important work already happening in our community.
A Challenge We Can Meet Together
When neighbours contribute small, steady gifts, our community can respond to growing needs with consistency and compassion.
Built on Existing Local Work
Trusted Stratford organizations already provide essential services. We help strengthen the important work happening right here at home.

We share community updates and encourage transparency, while participating charities remain responsible for their own financial reporting.
We Care for the Whole Family
Helping people — and their animal companions too.
For many of our neighbours, a pet is family and often their closest source of comfort. Stratford Cares supports access to resources that help people and their animal companions stay together, with food, supplies and care for both.
