2020/2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Shine a Light on Youth Homelessness . We are honoured to be partnering with the amazing team at CountryGrocer and want to give them a massive shoutout for helping us support the youth we serve.It’s that time! T
hreshold Housing is Shining a Light on Youth Homelessness from November 1st, 2021 to December 31st, 2021 We believe that every youth in our community deserves a safe place to call home — to find sanctuary and acceptance. Your support can help provide at-risk youth with a safe home and a strong support network that can change the trajectory of their life, and even have a generational impact on their family. By supporting at-risk youth, you are helping prevent future adult homelessness. During this time, we will be raising funds to help us continue to provide safe homes and brighter futures to at-risk youth and raise awareness about youth homelessness.
On behalf of our entire team at Threshold Housing Society, we want to say thank you so much for the generosity and support you have shown us. October is donor appreciation month at Threshold.
We celebrate our donors, people like you, in the month of October to show our deep appreciation and gratitude for all your support.
Please enjoy this video we created to express our sincere gratitude.
