During the pandemic and over the past year with rising costs, Blue Door has seen an influx of people experiencing homelessness, and often their situation leaves them feeling like there is no hope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“While the rapidly changing economy has been tough on us all, our most vulnerable have felt it the most,\u201d Blue Door CEO Michael Braithwaite said. \u201cBlue Door is so appreciative of our community as we work together this GivingTuesday to raise funds to make sure everyone has a safe and affordable place to call home.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This year, Blue Door\u2019s GivingTuesday theme is “Give Dignity.” Your holiday gift to Blue Door will provide hope and supports to those who feel as though their dignity was taken from them in their hard times, the organization says. With funds raised this year, Blue Door will support vulnerable seniors, youth, families, and neighbours who continue to be pushed into poverty and homelessness.<\/p>\n

\n

Your donation to Blue Door\u2019s GivingTuesday campaign will assist in purchasing gifts of dignity, such as food, toiletries, clothing, and bedding, which are all necessities to breaking the cycle of poverty and helping people escape homelessness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Blue Door\u2019s campaign began on Tuesday, Nov. 22 and has set a goal to raise $40,000 by GivingTuesday on Nov. 29.<\/p>\n

\n

An exciting part of this year\u2019s campaign is that donations up to $15,000 to Blue Door\u2019s GivingTuesday campaign will be matched by generous donors, including Cambria Design Build Ltd., Diner Agency Inc. and Crier Media Group, Tessier Design Corp., Walterhouse Realty Group, and Wyse Meter Solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Your donation will be matched and will have double the impact helping your community\u2019s most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
