THE ORANGE DOOR CAMPAIGN, A SUCCESS TWICE OVER!

For over a decade, Trellis has proudly been a strategic partner with The Home Depot Canada Foundation. Together we are working to prevent and end youth homelessness in Calgary.

In 2021 the efforts of Home Depot Associates from seven stores across Calgary were enormously successful. Associates gave personally, the Foundation contributed for every store participating and Associates invited customers to also donate to Trellis to end youth homelessness.

By sharing their compassion and reminding customers that there is more work to be done in the city, the Home Depot Team truly steps up.

From July to August, and again in December the Home Depot stores raised a total of $138,786.68! Funds are supporting Indigenous youth experiencing homelessness as well as the resources that help to divert youth from homelessness.

One Home Depot cashier shared how a donor said they had to give back because they had been supported at our Avenue 15 youth shelter when they were in trouble and lost. It was a full circle moment.

Trellis could not do the work that we do without the support of our funders, partners and the community.

Thank you for supporting the thousands of young people, families and communities who access our programs and services each year in Calgary and surrounding areas.
