Home Horizon’s ninth annual Spirit of Collingwood Tour is taking place at the Alpine Ski Club on Saturday Oct. 28.
This year, 100 per cent of the funds raised are going to support Home Horizon Barbara Weider House for youth who are at risk of facing homelessness in the South Georgian Bay area.
“We continue to struggle with the battle against youth homelessness. The expansion of the Barbara Weider House and our Youth Thrive and Outreach Programs continue to help Home Horizon to meet the growing demand for youth who are in transition,” said Deb Piggott, Home Horizon Fund Development Manager.
Barbara Weider House (BWH) opened in 2017, dedicated to serving youth aged 16-24 who are facing homelessness. In addition to providing safe, stable and affordable housing, it provides health and life skills education, mentorship, and individualized support plans for these youth which helps them to set realistic goals and teaches skills that last a lifetime.
The Barbara Weider House is the only facility in the community dedicated to serving youth at risk of homelessness.
Participants of Spirit of Collingwood Tour sample a selection of local spirits and gourmet tastings supplied by local restaurants. There are live and silent auctions, and a dinner and dance at the Alpine Ski Club all while generating greater awareness and raising much needed funds for Home Horizon.
The event showcases the quality of our local spirits and restaurants while bringing together the community in support of the critical work Home Horizon does. Home Horizon, a local charitable organization, transforms the lives of youth at risk of homelessness by providing them with the opportunity to rebuild their lives and achieve their full potential.
