A Night to Remember

Join us on Saturday, November 21st at the Chatham Portuguese Club from 6-11PM!

A Night to Remember is an evening intended to bring our community together to remember those we have lost to the homelessness and toxic drug crisis.
This event is a also great opportunity to learn about R.O.C.K.'s approach, meet the team members, and hear about work happening in C-K and other communities to support individuals who experience challenges related to homelessness and substance use from a dynamic panel of experts: Diana Chan McNally, Tonya Evans, Andrzej Celinski, and Melissa Harrigan, moderated by Chatham-Kent Community Drug Strategy Coordinator Jordynne Lindsay.

In addition to the panel discussion, you will also enjoy:

  • Dinner, dessert & cash bar

  • Live music by DJ Courtney Wells

  • Silent auction including art created and generously donated by those we support

  • 50/50 draw

End The Stigma

R.O.C.K. works to ensure that no one faces homelessness or substance use alone. Stigma is the #1 reason people don’t seek the support they need.

Our Mission

R.O.C.K. aims to support those experiencing homelessness and substance use through outreach, drop-in services and community connection.

How to Help

Your support can help people experiencing homelessness and stem the rising rates of substance-related deaths in Chatham-Kent.

What We Do

Peer-2-Peer Program

On-the-ground, root-cause solutions that are peer-led and professionally supported.

Outreach Program

Connecting with those experiencing homelessness or insecure housing.

Drop-In program

 R.O.C.K. has two drop-in centres located in Chatham & Wallaceburg.

Why We Do It

In September 2025, Chatham-Kent recorded 259 people experiencing houselessness,
including 154 living outdoors.
