Human-Kind-ness Campaign
The Human-Kind-ness Campaign highlights six of Toronto’s most staggering social issues while humanizing those in the community who are most affected by them. In partnership with photographer Leah den Bok, WoodGreen Community Services is showcasing Toronto’s most vulnerable, to raise awareness and funds for essential services.
