Hope Through Housing 2017
UPDATE!!
We have been approved for $2000 grant from Foresters to assist Redwood Park Communities in Barrie!
Redwood Park offers supported transitional housing to women and children leaving the Barrie Women and Children's Shelter. This fills a gap in our housing system in an effort to reduce poverty and break the cycle of domestic violence. The alternative puts them in the position of choosing between housing they cannot afford, homelessness, or returning to abusive partners.
With the $2000 Foresters grant The Difference will be purchasing for the kids: 50 pillows, 50 twin sheets bedding sets, 50 bath towels, 50 hand towels and 50 face towels!
Watch for updates on making a difference in these important families’ lives!
