Those interested in joining our Rough Night Out campaign, click below and "Create a Fundraiser" - this campaign is to raise awareness and funds to support WRYM as we help end homelessness for youth by "sleeping rough", as homeless youth may be forced to do.
Windsor Residence for Young Men is to benefit from the HOME DEPOT SUMMER ORANGE DOOR PROJECT CAMPAIGN July 6 to August 1, 2021 - Walker and Division Road Store
From July 6 to August 1, customers will be able to buy a $2 paper “paper door’ at the checkout when purchasing goods at the Walker and Division store, or can donate online at www.orangedoorproject.ca. If donating online, people are being asked to be sure to select the Walker and Division store “Fund #7228” in the drop-down menu so that their donation benefits WRYM. They may also leave a note regarding their donation. “Home Depot Store 7228 in south Windsor is always eager to support our local charities,” says assistant store manager Sherri Jean. “WRYM has been a long-time partner with our store as we work together to end youth homelessness in our community.”  Sherri and Donna are among the Walker and Division roads Home Depot store employees raising funds to support residents of the Windsor Residence for Young Men. Windsor Residence for Young Men (WRYM) is a charitable organization that supports young men 16 - 24 years of age as they leave homelessness behind to build new lives. WRYM provides a transitional residence and individual counselling while teaching basic life skills such as hygiene, food acquisition and preparation, budgeting, social responsibility and work ethic. WRYM depends almost entirely on donations from the community, which go direct to assisting homeless young men. Administrative tasks are done by community volunteers.
The Home Depot Canada Foundation is committed to preventing and ending youth homelessness in Canada. Together with community partners across the country, it works to remove barriers, break cycles of inequity, and enable at-risk youth facing homelessness to achieve positive development outcomes and realize their full potential. The Home Depot Canada Foundation has pledged $50M by 2022 to help prevent and end youth homelessness and, as of the start of 2021, the Foundation has distributed $38M of this pledge through 4 core programmatic areas: housing, employment and life skills, prevention, and research.

 Successful WRYM’s Virtual ROUGH NIGHT OUT 2021 raises funds for homeless youth Volunteers for The Windsor Residence for Young Men (WRYM) and their supporters spent this past Friday night (February 19-20) outdoors in freezing cold temperatures to raise money for programs that help youth leave homeless behind and build new lives. Called WRYM’s Virtual ROUGH NIGHT OUT 2021, the all-night vigil had about a dozen volunteers and supporters "sleeping rough" as homeless youths are sometimes forced to do. The volunteers were sponsored by individual donors. This year’s event was COVID-safe, with people holding vigils in their own backyards and communicating with each other and supporters online by Zoom and social media.
WRYM provides youth with a supportive home, individual counselling, and basic life skills. Youths with potential are diverted from the streets to reconnect with their community, education and employment. WRYM’s programs are highly successful and efficient, and they do not duplicate the services of other agencies. WRYM and its residents depend on the generosity of community donors to fund these programs. “We wanted to raise community awareness about theses issues,” said Freeman, “and I think we are succeeding. On behalf of WRYM’s residents, staff and volunteers, I sincerely thank all the kind people who stepped up to donate and help youth end homelessness.” Freeman says that donations are still coming in, with more than $10,000 in funds raised so far. More information and secure donation links may be found at www.wrym.ca
Registration is free - but donations are gratefully accepted!

Emergency Community Fund grant to assist youth at-risk of homelessness The United Way/Centraide Windsor-Essex County has awarded The Windsor Residence for Young Men (WRYM) $14,900 through the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF). The funding will assist youth who are at-risk of homelessness and have been hindered by COVID 19 in their attempts to pursue education, employment and reintegration into the community. The funds will be used to make tablet computers and part-time education help available at WRYM so that residents can use online learning resources to rebuild their lives. A staff member will assist them each school day with navigating their courses and communicating with their schools. “We divert youth from the streets and provide a supportive home, individual counselling, and basic life skills,” said WRYM’s donor development chair Dave Freeman. “Then we introduce them to the resources and opportunities of their community – but the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 have made that outreach very difficult. Online learning will help bridge that gap and empower our residents to succeed. So, we are very grateful to The United Way/Centraide Windsor-Essex County, the Government of Canada and the Emergency Community Support Fund for making this success possible. “ The Windsor Residence for Young Men WRYM teaches youth basic life skills such as hygiene, food acquisition and preparation, budgeting, social responsibility and work ethic. WRYM integrates homeless youth into the community, reconnecting them with extended family or independent living as well as education and employment. WRYM’s programs are cost-effective because they do not duplicate services already available, and volunteers handle the administrative work. Since opening its doors in 2012, WRYM has helped more than 330 youth to leave homelessness behind and build new lives.

The WindsorEssex Community Foundation has granted $14,118 to the Windsor Residence for Young Men (WRYM) from the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund. The money will be used to provide four months of full-time support to at-risk youth who are struggling with the second wave of COVID 19 as they try to rebuild their lives in the community. WRYM provides Aftercare Program services to many of more than 300 past clients of its Transitional Housing Program as they attempt to reintegrate into the community with suitable living arrangements, work and education. COVID-19 has caused a full range of additional hardships for these at-risk youth. A recent national survey (September 24, 2020, A Way Home Canada & Canadian Observatory on Homelessness) determined the following:
WRYM’s Chair of Donor Development, Dave Freeman, says, “We are very grateful to the WindsorEssex Community Foundation and the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund for recognizing the dire need of at-risk youth for safe housing and extra personal support during this second phase of COVID-19. This funding will help us stay true to our mission of helping formerly homeless and at-risk youth to empower themselves as full members of our community.” The Windsor Residence for Young Men WRYM teaches youth basic life skills such as hygiene, food acquisition and preparation, budgeting, social responsibility and work ethic.
