Toronto City Mission (TCM) is a Christian nonprofit organization that has been the oldest and longest running outreach to people living in poverty in Toronto, Ontario. The organization serves families in six communities: Jane-Finch, Flemingdon-Park, St. James Town, Kingston-Galloway, Victoria Village, and Willowtree. == History == Toronto City Mission was established on November 14, 1879 by a group of ministers and laymen, to improve the spiritual and material welfare of the poor throughout the Toronto area. The focus was on assisting needy parents, children, widows, the elderly, the sick, hungry and deserted, and the unemployed, and on preaching the Christian gospel. In 1894 the mission took over the work of the Fred Victor Mission. In 1894, the mission purchased a home in what was then Bronte, which was used as a country camp for families and children from Toronto until 1977. The mission provided food, clothing, Christian evangelism and a break from the city heat. In 1898 a group of three woman doctors founded a dispensary for poor women at the mission's Sackville Street location. This later grew to become Women's College Hospital. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toronto City Mission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
