Toby Strout was an influential activist, serving as the executive director of The Middle Way House, a shelter highly regarded for supporting victims of domestic violence. This organization stands as a model in the United States, offering essential services like childcare, support groups, legal advocacy, and housing for those in need.  

Toby was honored for her work by winning a national award for transforming an old Coca-Cola building into the New Wings shelter. The community even named a street after her when she passed away.
