Susan Moran has dedicated herself to helping disenfranchised people across Ontario. Responding to the tragic death of a homeless man in 1988, she rallied her students at St. Michael's College to join her in her mission. With their help, she founded Out of the Cold, a volunteer-driven program that provides homeless people with overnight shelter, food, and warm clothing. She also founded Lazarus House, Trellis Gardens, and Mary's Home, a short-term emergency shelter for abused women and their children. Continuing to awaken the social consciousness of others, she encourages Canadians to assume responsibility for aiding their fellow citizens.
