We delivered our promise to The Raft homeless shelter in St. Catharines
Together, we accumulated enough winter wear to support two homeless shelters. (The Raft in St. Catharines & The Boys And Girls Club in Niagara Falls) We have put in a lot of hard work and dedication, and it has all been worth it. We have worked hard to meet our goals and objectives, and we are very happy with the outcome. We couldn’t have asked for anything better! We would like to thank everyone that was involved with this campaign, and still is, as we are running this campaign annually. We thank all of you who helped us attain these excellent results; without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today!
About The Raft in St. Catharines
The RAFT provides homeless and at risk youth with the support and services to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty and become independent adults through its hostel and drop in centre. This non profit organization provides a non judgmental environment that is free from violence, intimidation, drugs and alcohol. Through a focus on independent living youth learn how to live a healthy life style while participating in life skills and personal development programs. Youth receive support to find housing, employment and a stable future.
Youth Reconnect supports at risk youth in their home communities and prevents them from having to leave the Region. With the help of its partners, the organization focuses on helping at-risk youth receive the support they need to stay in Niagara. Our services target at-risk youth without secure housing by focusing on creating independence. By activating a social safety net, youth remain connected to their home community. In addition the organization provides community based initiatives in a number of stressed neighbourhoods to build stronger caring communities.
