Kicking Off The Home Depot Canada's Annual Orange Door Project Fundraising Campaign


Buy a $2.00 Orange Door at your local Home Depot store to help prevent and end youth homelessness

TORONTO, May 31, 2018 /CNW/ - Until June 24, customers who purchase a $2.00 paper orange door at their local Home Depot store will help support safe housing options, life-skills development programs and prevention initiatives for at-risk and homeless youth across Canada.   

The Home Depot Canada Foundation (CNW Group/The Home Depot of Canada Inc.)

"Every night in neighbourhoods across the country more than 6,000 youth don't have a safe place to call home. That is why 100 per cent of every customer donation goes directly to helping youth impacted by this very serious issue. Thanks to the support of our communities, we're helping vulnerable and homeless youth realize brighter futures, one orange door at a time," said Jeff Kinnaird, chair, board of directors, The Home Depot Canada Foundation and president, The Home Depot Canada.

Research has demonstrated that the longer a young person remains homeless, the worse their health and well-being become, and the more likely they are to experience exploitation, trauma and addictions, drop out of school and become entrenched in street life.*

Through The Orange Door Project fundraising campaign, The Home Depot Canada Foundation supports 120 organizations that share their commitment to preventing and ending youth homelessness across the country.

Customers can also make online donations at www.orangedoorproject.ca.
