$101,000 raised by Hockey Helps the Homeless


Hockey

We want to thank Hockey Helps the Homeless for being a game changer and raising $101,000 this year for five local homeless support charities, including Lutherwood's Safe Haven. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the estimated 3,500 people who will experience homelessness in Kitchener-Waterloo this year!

Hockey Helps the Homeless is an annual tournament in Kitchener-Waterloo Region where men and women get a chance to play with hockey greats and raise funds to help the homeless in our community.

Renovations to our Life Launch program are complete! Thanks to generous donations from our community, the Life Launch space now provides a more comfortable, welcoming home for youth working towards independent living. Funded through donations and the Region of Waterloo, Life Launch supports youth who have accessed Safe Haven Crisis Services and are now working towards independent living. Our staff help them develop life skills and build a supportive network they can always lean on. With brighter kitchens, cozy living rooms, and private bedrooms, this space is a nurturing environment for youth to thrive in the community. #LifeLaunch #SafeHavenYouthServices #StarlingCommunityServices #StarlingHousingServices

It was a beautiful day for our annual Softball Tournament! ⚾ Starling staff and their families came together for a fun-filled day playing baseball and raising funds to give youth in our programs access to recreational activities they might not otherwise have. A big shoutout to all the winners and participants for making it a memorable event in support our community's youth! 💜 #StarlingCommunityServices #StarlingMentalHealthServices #WaterlooRegion #KidsMentalHealth

"I love the connection and equality I feel within Lutherwood. Supporting the First Nation, Métis, and Inuit peoples in Waterloo Region has brought meaning to my life. I can offer cultural teachings and walk alongside participants through various periods of their lives. Above all, Lutherwood has given me a sense of belonging."
