Home Depot launches Orange Door campaign

TORONTO — Home Depot stores across Canada kicked off the annual Orange Door Project fundraiser last week to help end youth homelessness. Until July 2, customers shopping at Home Depot Canada stores or garden centres can support the campaign by donating $2 at the checkout in exchange for a paper orange door. “In Canadian neighbourhoods, kids as young as 13 are experiencing homelessness,” said Home Depot Canada President Jeff Kinnaird.  “Together, we can shine a light on this serious social issue and inspire our friends, family members, and neighbours to take action to help.” The campaign has raised $6.6 million for more than 300 non-profit groups since 2007.
