Overnight event raises $7K to help Windsor's homeless

A recent fundraiser was able to raise over $7,000 to help youth experiencing homelessness in the Windsor area.

Several people took part in the Windsor Residence for Young Men’s (WRYM) ‘Rough Night Out’ event Friday night and Saturday morning. Among those in attendance were students from St. Clair College.

Participants were encouraged to spend most of the night outside to experience the daily struggles faced by those living on the streets.

“We are deeply grateful to St. Clair College and the Community and Justice Services program for their enthusiastic involvement,” said Jason Weinberg, Executive Director of WRYM. “The participation of students and faculty was instrumental in making Rough Night Out a success, and their efforts are truly appreciated.”

The funds will help the WRYM continue offering its different programs.
