After due consideration, we have decided to donate the proceeds from Great Soup – $500 – to Covenant House.
A note about Covenant House:
As Canada’s largest agency serving at-risk, homeless and trafficked youth, Covenant House Toronto changes lives by providing the widest range of services and support to as many as 250 youth a day. A national leader, we educate and advocate for change by influencing public policy and delivering prevention and awareness programs.
More than a place to stay, we provide 24/7 crisis shelter and transitional housing on-site and in the community, along with comprehensive services, including education, counselling, health care, employment assistance, job training and aftercare.
To do all this, we rely on donors for more than 80 percent of our $27-million annual operating budget.
Our doors are open to youth 16 to 24 regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or the circumstances that have brought them to our doors.
Since 1982, Covenant House has served almost 95,000 young people and helped them move from a life on the street to a life with a future.
