Making a Difference

Since 1952, COSTI has been there for those in need, providing vital programs and services, and reaching out to isolated members of the community - the children, adults, and families that too often fall through the cracks.

From the children regaining confidence and trust through our Art Therapy program to the refugee families arriving in Canada with little more than hope, and to the families facing homelessness, COSTI's programs and services make a difference in the lives over 39,000 individuals each and every year.

But we can't do it alone.

With the demand on our services greater than ever before, we need your help.

While COSTI does receive funding from various levels of government, these contributions do not pay for many of the vital services that we offer.

It is the support that COSTI raises throughout the year – from individuals, businesses, and groups - that allows us to continue our work in the community, strengthening the lives of children, adults, and families, and providing us with the enhanced flexibility to better serve our clients.

When you make a gift to COSTI, you are making an investment in your community.
