Sault Ste. Marie Push For Change
Support Pauline’s Place Shelter
Wednesday, February 1, 2017
HOW TO DONATE!
On February 1st, Joe Roberts will be coming through Sault Ste. Marie. Joe is a former homeless youth, and
now President and CEO; he is pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise awareness about youth
homelessness.
Pauline's Place Shelter will share in the awareness and funds raised by Push for Change. Youth homelessness
in Sault Ste. Marie is a challenge that is on the rise. In 2016 alone, 169 youth stayed at Pauline’s Place Youth
Shelter occupying 1,554 bed nights. Our community needs to address local youth homelessness.
The PURPOSE with The Push for Change is twofold:
1.
To CREATE sustainable change for Canadian Youth
2.
To ENGAGE Canadians to think differently about the extraordinary impact we can have when
working together, and then MOTIVATE them to take action.
