The Home Depot Canada’s Courtenay store will launch its Orange Door fundraising campaign June 1, in support of Comox Valley Transition Society.
Until July 2, customers can donate $2 at the store’s checkout in exchange for an orange paper door. All donations will help Comox Valley Transition Society provide a safe place to stay and counselling services to women and children who have experienced violence.
“In neighbourhoods across Canada, kids as young as 13 are experiencing homelessness for the first time. Together, we can shine a light on this serious social issue and inspire our friends, family and neighbours to take action to help,” said Jeff Kinnaird, chair, board of directors, The Home Depot Canada Foundation and president, The Home Depot Canada.
The Orange Door Project was established with the goal of eliminating youth homelessness in Canada. One hundred eighty-two Home Depot Canada stores are taking part in this year’s campaign by selling paper orange doors in-store, and by rolling up their sleeves to help local charities complete renovation projects.
The Home Depot Canada covers all administrative costs of the campaign, ensuring 100 per cent of customer donations made at the Courtenay store benefit Comox Valley Transition Society. In 2016, the store raised $6,258.
