The Orillia Rotary Club has stepped up and made a very generous donation towards the Building Hope campaign, an initiative that will take shape on Queen Street in the coming years.

The goal is to build a new community services hub facility that will serve Orillia’s vulnerable, offering a range of housing as well as emergency food and shelter, primary care, mental health and addiction services for people who are experiencing a housing crisis. It’s a $6-million project.

Members of the staff of the current shelter, the Lighthouse Soup Kitchen and Shelter, alongside those working on Building Hope are thankful for the $20,000 donation from the Rotary Club. For more information, visit orillialighthouse.ca or email [email protected].
