Invest in Citizenship Results - We Did It!!!

Citizenship is about more than status, it's about responsibility, community, and care.  That's the spirit behind our Invest in Citizenship campaign, and thanks to you, we've met our $10,000 matching goal!

In the lead-up to Canada Day, your generosity helped us raise over $21,000, a powerful expression of what citizenship truly means.  It's not just about who we are on paper.  It's about how we show up for others, especially those who are most vulnerable.

At the Windsor Residence for Young Men, citizenship is something we try to model and build every day, with youth who have been disconnected from community, family, and basic opportunity.  Your investment helps provide them not only with shelter, but with stability, skills, mentorship, and the belief that they, too, belong.

Special thanks to the generous matching donors who launched this campaign with $10,000 in matching funds, your leadership inspired our community to rise to the challenge.

Together, you've helped us send a powerful message:

Everyone deserves a chance to become a contributing citizen.

Everyone deserves a second chance to belong.

Thank you for investing in that belief, and for being the kind of citizens who help make it real.
