How we started

Jodi Greenstreet started WOW Living in 2014 out of a heart to share the truths that served as the bedrock of her life. If you were to ask her to boil it down to one thing her life rests on, she would say, Jesus. 

WOW consisted mostly of platform speaking at conferences, camps and retreats until 2019. God took Jodi off the platform and out of conference and camp speaking and began to open her eyes to so much more. She had the privilege of walking alongside a handful of people, most of whom you would never find at one of her speaking events, who became her teachers. Through listening to their stories and learning from their experience with poverty, addiction and mental health, Jodi began to pray with Patti LaRose about what they were called to do. The services that WOW Living provides are the result of those prayers. 


In April 2021 WOW Living became a registered charity for relief of poverty. 


In 2023 CrossTrainers Canada asked if WOW Living would take on their ministries and the WOW Living board of directors unanimously said yes. A Hand Up Clothing Room and the Christmas Wish List programs are two vital services to the Bradford community. 

The WOW Living TEAM has grown to over 60 passionate individuals with hearts to love and care for the hurting, homeless and those struggling to hold on to hope. 


The truths that Jodi began WOW Living to share in 20214 are still a part of the DNA of WOW Living. They come out in conversations that now takes place in the cafe over a cup of coffee, on a walk around town or during TEAM trainings.

Donate

Our heart is that the majority of the dollars donated to WOW Living go to directly supporting the people we serve. Our passion is to, provide resources to under-resourced people and to provide them with the opportunity to do the same. 


General donations will be put toward our operating costs. These may include anything from covering a few nights at a hotel for a homeless friend, putting gas in the car to get them to appointments or providing them with a cup of coffee, groceries or a meal. Donations may also go toward the cost of training, staffing or affordable housing expenses. Whenever possible we desire to employ people with lived experience in areas such as homelessness, poverty, addiction and mental health disorders.
