About Us

Dixon Hall is a multi-service agency located in the heart of East Downtown Toronto. For over 80 years, Dixon Hall has offered a wide range of supportive programs and services to its diverse community members – primarily residents of Regent Park, Moss Park, West Donlands, East Bayfront and surrounding neighbourhoods – as well as homeless men and women from across the city. We promote good jobs, good health, safe shelter, vibrant cultures and a strong community. We are community partners in creating opportunities for people of all ages to dream, to achieve and to live full and rewarding lives.

Stressing a ‘hand up’ rather than a ‘hand out’ approach;

children from low income families benefit from the music school
(receiving low cost, private lessons) and over 100 children ages 3-12
attend the annual summer day camp

people looking for work receive literacy, computer and
employability skills training they need

newcomers and immigrants are connected to settlement services
and programs designed to foster inclusion and reduce feelings of
isolation and marginalization

high-risk youth find a positive alternative to the drug and gang
culture

homeless women and men find shelter and support as they try to
regain self-sufficiency

victims of family violence find emotional support and practical
assistance

isolated seniors gain companionship and support to live
independently.
