Thank you to Peel Regional Police for their contribution to Luso’s Food Distribution Initiative. Special mention and appreciation for the hard work of Staff Sergeant Baxter, Sergeants De Angelis and Rice as well as Constables Danos and Correira. With their help, we were able to secure, package and deliver bags filled with nutritious foods, much appreciated by Luso families.
We were surprised to find new summer arrangements in our planters at Peel! Thank you to Paul from Pink Flamingo Landscaping & Design for beautifying our entrance and cheering us up during these turbulent times!
We are delighted with our newly renovated Hamilton Centre thanks to the hard work and generosity of Target Drywall & Acoustics, Roysun Contracting Inc. and volunteers. We look forward to being at the centre again and using the beautiful rooftop deck!
Our sincere thanks to the volunteers from the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades for recently giving our Hamilton Centre a total refresh. Paint for the project was generously donated by Sherwin-Williams. A few months back, these wonderful volunteers also worked hard to paint our Toronto Centre from top to bottom in one day during their Community Day of Action and provided lunch for volunteers, staff and participants alike. We greatly appreciate their strong community partnership and can't thank them enough for their ongoing contribution and support.
Luso thanks the Streetsville Founders' Bread and Honey Festival for providing delicious bread & honey samples to enjoy. We look forward to “beeing” at next year’s festival!
Last week, Hallmark Housekeeping Services Inc generously donated 50 hot meals prepared by Leao D'ouro Restaurant Bar for Luso to distribute to families in Toronto and Hamilton. They were excited for the visit and appreciated the thoughtful gift of a delicious meal delivered right to their homes. For these families, the meal was more than just a gesture, it was an act of kindness and they were touched by the generosity of our supporters. Thank you on behalf of our Luso Family!
Last week our Hamilton team delivered surprise gift bags with activity and recipe supplies to Luso families. Much to the delight of everyone, it was a chance for our team to reconnect with participants and families during these difficult times. We miss everyone dearly!

Luso received a wonderful greeting from Hayley Wickenheiser who shared some encouraging words in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For those of you who don’t know her, Hayley is a six-time Olympian and five-time Olympic medalist (4 Gold medals and 1 Silver medal) who played with Team Canada's Women's Ice Hockey Team.
While growing up in Saskatchewan, Hayley's mother ran a home called the "Houston Home" for individuals living with disabilities, just like Luso! This population especially touches her heart as she spent a great deal of time with the Houston Home clients.
Among her many other accomplishments, Hayley is currently working with Canada's Conquer COVID19 organization to facilitate access to essential products that are in short supply for the healthcare community during the pandemic. She is also completing her final year of Medicine at the University of Calgary.
Hayley is a role model and inspiration for all Canadians to say the least. We are proud to share her message with our Luso Family and we hope it lifts your spirits during these undoubtedly challenging times.
As part of #GivingTuesdayNow, we would like to give thanks to Hayley for her kind support for our Luso participants, families, staff and our many community supporters. Our participants also had some messages of their own to share with Hayley, which can be viewed in the comment section.
As part of #GivingTuesdayNow, we would like to give thanks to Feed Mississauga and Mississauga Convention Centre, our generous community partners, for providing 50 hot meals to brighten the day for Luso families. Deliveries made by Luso staff were an opportunity to connect while respecting social distancing. Recipients were delighted to receive delicious meals brought to their door by smiling volunteers.
