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 Sunday, aims to make a significant difference in the lives of youths living in the local community by aiding the NSYWH, which offers comprehensive support to youths aged 12 to 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,” NSYWH care coordinator Lindsay Burrus said in a release. “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. All funds raised locally will go directly to supporting youths in Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, Tay Township and Beausoleil First Nation.
"By participating in the Orange Door Project, you’re not just donating money; you’re providing hope and stability to young people in need," a release notes. "Together, we can make a real difference and ensure that every youth has the opportunity for a brighter future."
