Calling on community...

The Unsheltered Campaign (UC) is in urgent need of monetary donations to meet the immediate, practical needs of people in our community who are unhoused.
Especially those unable to access emergency shelters.
We are kindly asking for support from the broader community, to continue urgent mutual aid and outreach support to unhoused folks who are left stranded by the system. Unprecedented numbers of people are experiencing homelessness, including older adults, people with disabilities, and people who have never been homeless before. Donations cover costs associated with temporary shelter, food, necessities, and survival gear.
If you are able, you can make a donation through the Social Development Centre Waterloo Region using the link or QR code. Please choose “Unsheltered Campaign” from the drop-down list of donation recipients.

Many hear the word homeless and picture encampments or tent cities. Yet there is another face to homelessness... that elderly single senior or disabled individual on a fixed income. Faced with rising rent and living costs and no equivalent increase in pension or benefits, they lose their housing.
Often referred to Unsheltered Campaign so they can stay off the streets until able or eligible to access housing resources and systems. Preventing rather than creating chronic homelessness - Lesley Crompton |
