Event Report: Care for All Canada at Adam House Downtown

Skin Product Distribution & Community Engagement Event

Date of Event: September 12, 2025

Location: Adam House Downtown, Toronto, ON

Organized by: Care for All Canada Inc.

Overview

On September 12, Care for All Canada partnered with Adam House Downtown to host a skincare and wound care product distribution event for residents supported by the organization. This initiative is part of our continuing mission to advance health equity and provide compassionate care by ensuring access to essential dermatologic products for underserved communities.

Adam House provided a welcoming and supportive space for this outreach. It was a privilege to contribute to their efforts to meet the daily needs of community members in a dignified and caring environment.

Activities and Engagement

• Product Distribution:
  We distributed between 200–250 skincare and wound care products, including moisturizers, cleansers, sunscreens, and wound dressings. These were selected with community health needs in mind, recognizing the role of environmental and social stressors on skin and wound health.

• One-on-One Conversations:
  Five dedicated volunteers engaged with 25 residents in meaningful conversations. They answered questions, explained product use, and provided guidance on addressing skin and wound concerns.

• Community Needs & Feedback:
  Residents highlighted a strong desire for additional sunscreen, as well as pre-assembled care packages for convenience. Feedback also emphasized the importance of translation support to ensure full accessibility.

Community Impact

• Residents Served: 25

• Products Distributed: ~200–250

• Languages Spoken: Arabic, Chinese, English

The event was warmly received. Residents appreciated the products as well as the human connection and care demonstrated by volunteers. The call for more sunscreen and structured care packages will shape our future initiatives, ensuring that our distribution aligns even more closely with community priorities.

Reflections and Next Steps

This event underscored the value of direct engagement and listening to community voices. Moving forward, Care for All Canada will:

• Prioritize sunscreen in upcoming distributions.

• Develop pre-assembled care packages to streamline future events.

• Recruit multilingual volunteers to improve accessibility for diverse language groups.

We are excited to continue our collaboration with Adam House Downtown and to build on this successful event with more tailored and responsive outreach efforts.
