Start Me Up Niagara is proud to celebrate 25 years of standing alongside individuals and families facing poverty, housing instability, mental health challenges, and barriers to employment through its 25th Anniversary Jubilee Celebrations. As part of these milestone celebrations, Start Me Up Niagara is excited to host the Mystery & Mimosa Jubilee Brunch & Fundraiser—an elegant and uplifting event that honours the organization’s legacy while looking ahead to a brighter future. Taking place on October 18, 2025, at the St. Catharines Golf & Country Club, this signature brunch will feature a delicious meal, a sparkling mimosa toast, an immersive mystery adventure, and an online auction. Join us for a joyful morning of connection, gratitude, and celebration as we reflect on 25 incredible years of impact and toast to the future of resilience, transformation, and community. 

Since its founding in 2000, the organization has evolved from a small grassroots initiative into a trusted community leader, offering programs and services that promote dignity, stability, and self-sufficiency.
