SUMMARY:DURHAM REGION SCHOOLS & BUSINESSES BRING LASTING CHANGE TO HOMELESS YOUTH [OSHAWA, October 27, 2022] 
LOCATION:The Refuge Youth Outreach Centre
DESCRIPTION:This November, 2022, local schools, businesses and churches are bringing la
 sting change to homeless &amp; street youth in our community by participati
 ng in the Durham Day of Change! The Day of Change is a fun &amp; easy fundr
 aiser that raises money for The Refuge, a charitable drop-in centre serving
  homeless, hungry, and hurting youth aged 16-26 in the Durham Region. Last 
 year, 11 schools from the DDSB, DCDSB, and KPRDSB; 3 local businesses and 2
  local churches participated and raised over $9,000 in one day! All funds r
 aised went directly to support The Refuge's life-changing programs for yout
 h suffering from or at risk of homeless in Durham Region. \n \nThe Day of C
 hange brings about relevant discussion regarding youth homelessness and a f
 riendly competition between classrooms, businesses and church groups, which
  encourages everyone to work together to make a difference in our community
 . The Day of Change is easy to implement, fun for participants, and a fanta
 stic way to support the vulnerable in our community. Each year, The Refuge 
 serves over 18,000 meals and snacks to nearly 500 individual youth who use 
 our services between 9,000-10,000 times. \n \nBy participating in the Day o
 f Change, you can give hope and dignity to the youth suffering or at risk o
 f homeless in our community. Your contribution goes directly towards provid
 ing them with hot meals, necessities such as hot showers, laundry facilitie
 s, clothing, food, household essentials and bus fair, as well as transforma
 tive programs and counselling to provide life skills and positive healing. 
 \n \nThis year our main focus is on our new building, at 357 Simcoe St S, O
 shawa, (formerly Holy Cross Catholic School). This new building is going to
  have 26 affordable housing units for youth through the Housing First progr
 am. Each unit is a furnished studio apartment, fully equipped with a kitche
 n &amp; bathroom. Included facilities in the building are: storage, laundry
 , and a common room for youth to be in community with each other. Along wit
 h a full gymnasium and the new Refuge space, where we can do everything we 
 do now, but even more! \n \nThe Refuge community needs the support of the D
 urham Region to bring lasting change to homeless and street youth. Together
  we can provide change to youth in Durham Region in new and innovative ways
 , helping them reach their full potential. \n \nIt’s not too late to be a p
 art of the Durham Day of Change! Please email Tanya Wadden (This email addr
