Home Depot’s Orange Door Project is helping to prevent youth homelessness in north Simcoe
Home Depot’s Orange Door Project is supporting the North Simcoe Youth Wellness Hub (NSYWH) in its efforts to prevent youth homelessness and support youths experiencing homelessness. The fundraiser, which runs until Dec. 22, is a crucial initiative aimed at making a significant difference in the lives of youths living right here in our local community.
The NSYWH offers comprehensive support to youths aged 12-25. Offered both in-person and virtually, services include mental health and substance use support, social services, and a range of programs designed specifically for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The goal is simple, yet profound: to provide young people with the right care in the right place at the right time.
“We strive to ensure our services are both accessible and effective, with minimal wait times,” said NSYWH Care Co-ordinator Lindsay Burrus. “By removing barriers, we aim to give every young person the opportunity to succeed.”
The Orange Door Project allows supporters to donate in person at the Midland Home Depot or to choose that location when donating online. One hundred per cent of the funds raised locally will go directly to supporting youths in Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, Tay Township, Beausoleil First Nation and surrounding areas.
Your donation can be transformative. Every contribution helps change the path for youths experiencing homelessness, giving them access to the vital support they need. To donate, visit https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/28220.
By participating in the Orange Door Project, you’re not just donating money; you’re providing hope and stability to young people in need. Together, we can make a real difference and ensure that every youth has the opportunity for a brighter future.
Visit the Midland Home Depot or donate online to show your support for the NSYWH and help us create positive change in our community. Let’s come together to make a difference for our youth this holiday season.
