Home Depot in Burnaby is once again raising money for St. Leonard’s Youth and Family Services Society to help at-risk and homeless youth in the region.
Home Depot’s Orange Door Project fundraising campaign runs from now until June 24. Customers can make a $2 donation at the till and in return they’ll receive an orange paper door they can sign and post in the store, according to a press release.
All the funds collected in Burnaby will be donated to St. Leornard’s, which provides a number of social service programs for high-risk or at-risk children, youth and families in Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey and Delta.
“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 of the board of directors of the Home Depot Canada Foundation and president of Home Depot Canada, in the release.
Since 2007, Home Depot has raised more than $8.6 million for organizations across Canada. Donations are also being accepted online at www.orangedoorproject.ca.
