SACY receives $25K cheque from Home Depot

The Home Depot Canada Foundation recently joined forces with The Street Youth Planning Collaborative – Youth Leaders Committee (SYPC YLC) to present four youth-serving organizations with Orange Door Awards.

As one of the winners, Sudbury Action Centre for Youth has received $25,000 to improve the supportive services they provide to their youth clients. This will ensure they can continue to help youth-in-need to realize brighter futures in their community.

The Orange Door Project is The Home Depot Canada Foundation’s response to one of the most urgent social issues facing Canadians today – youth homelessness. On any given night, more than 6,000 young people are without a place to call home, and that has to change.

“We’re working with committed partners, suppliers, associates and our generous customers to help,” said a news release from The Home Depot Canada.

“By bringing supportive housing and life skills development programs to vulnerable youth, we can help change lives and build brighter futures.”
