TV host Margaret Wallis-Duffy interviews Friar Tom Percell, Director St. Clare Inn for Homeless Women (Toronto) for the Show Us Your Goodness charity contest sponsored by riceworks Gourmet Brown Rice Crisps.

St. Clare Inn opened its doors in 2007, inspired by the story of “Julie”, a homeless and vulnerable middle-aged woman who lived much of her latter life in a bus shelter near St. Bonaventure Church in Toronto.

The newspaper account of Julie’s life and death became a catalyst for the creation of St. Clare Inn, a welcoming two-story residence for women who have been homeless and are dealing with mental health issues. The Inn, located in Toronto, offers a safe and stable drug and alcohol-free environment for women who are ready to begin to heal — mind, body and spirit.
