About

The Good Wolf Foundation

Feed Your Good Wolf. Strengthen Your Community.

Two wolves fight inside all of us: one wolf is vengeful, angry, and jealous; the other wolf is kind, compassionate and caring.

The wolf that wins is the one we choose to feed.

The Good Wolf Foundation was created with a simple belief: to feed our good wolves. When individuals thrive, communities thrive. Our intention is to inspire a movement dedicated to building healthier, stronger, and more connected communities.

And we chose a name that reflects what we believe: that people become healthier and communities become safer when we nurture the “good wolf” in all of us.

Our Mission

The Good Wolf Foundation exists to build healthier, safer, and more resilient communities.

We intend to address the co-occurring crises we’ve seen in our community and in many communities across the provinces housing instability, food insecurity, a lack of reintegration supports for people leaving custody, mental health and a general sense of connection and belonging.

When people’s basic needs are met- when they are housed, fed, and financially stable- they are less likely to partake in problematic substance use to deal with the stresses of life. Similarly, when people feel connected, when they have a sense of purpose and feel a sense of belonging in their community- when they are mentally well- they are less likely to self medicate with substances to fill voids.

Our goal is to meet people where they’re at, offer meaningful support, and help them reconnect with purpose, community, and a sense of belonging.

Our Philosophy: Feed Your Good Wolf

The story of the good wolf reminds us that every positive change — personal or community-wide — begins with what we nurture.

When we feed empathy instead of stigma, connection instead of isolation, opportunity instead of hopelessness, we transform lives.

And when enough people choose to feed their good wolf, entire communities change.

Let’s feed the good wolf — together.
