Covenant House Vancouver is proud to be one of The Home Depot Canada Foundation’s Strategic Partners. The Foundation has been supporting us for 15 years and has donated over $2.8 million to our work. We also receive support from local Home Depot stores, through their spring and holiday Orange Door Project Campaigns.
Over the summer, the Foundation visited our Crisis Program with a group of their suppliers to learn about the impact of their support and to learn how important life skills training is to the long-term successes of youth.
The Foundation furthered their commitment to youth by donating $600,000, over three years, to our Crisis Program and Rights of Passage program. This year marks the first year of this commitment, and we are grateful for the $200,000 gift that will be split between the two programs.
“We’re proud to continue to stand alongside Covenant House Vancouver and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate. This summer, we had the opportunity to show members of our supplier community the incredible work they do, a meaningful reminder of how collective action can drive change. Thank you for the work you do every day to uplift youth and strengthen communities.” Amy Bilodeau, Sr. Manager Community Investment, The Home Depot Canada Foundation
By engaging a network of generous partners and supporters, including The Home Depot Canada’s associates, suppliers, customers, and community partners, The Home Depot Canada Foundation works tirelessly to improve housing options, life skills development, and employment programs for vulnerable youth, while investing in research initiatives that help identify the most effective solutions to youth homelessness.
The Home Depot Canada Foundation is committed to preventing and ending youth homelessness, in Canada. Through community partnerships, the Foundation aims to break down the systemic barriers that youth face to help them achieve healthy pathways out of homelessness. By 2030, The Home Depot Canada Foundation will invest $125 million across Canada, to create new paths for youth at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.
Covenant House is so grateful to The Home Depot Canada Foundation for their incredible support. Thank you!
