Akin’s Membership
Gives Back

This fall, many Akin members donated winter coats to Haven Toronto, a local day centre supporting elder, unhoused men which has been operating in Toronto since 1933. Together, we donated over 20 coats to those in need. Thanks to our members for supporting a great cause this winter!

Thank you to our fantastic community! We can’t wait to spend another season creating with you. Your continued support and enthusiasm is our inspiration to continue to serve our fellow artists and arts lovers in Toronto. We wish you all a fantastic winter.

Love, Akin

With your help, we can continue to have a significant positive impact on our city through the arts.
