5. Why are you moving?
   Distress Centre has grown considerably since we moved to our 8^th Avenue location back in 2000, nearly 20 years ago! Contact numbers have increased and with it we have brought on more volunteers and staff to respond to the demand. We’ve physically outgrown our current space and are looking forward to moving to a larger, refreshed space to enhance client, volunteer and staff experience.

Moving is part of our year-long 50^th Anniversary celebration! Distress Centre has operated in several locations since we first opened our doors in 1970 and we’ll revisit our past locations in the 50 Stories we’ll be sharing over 50 weeks in 2020. All 50 Stories will appear here as they are published.
