Big Announcement: Nicola Wealth is Proudly Supporting Sleep Out!
Nicola Wealth is proud to be a sponsor of Covenant House Sleep Out: Executive Edition. As business leaders, we recognize our responsibility to drive change and offer a supportive hand up rather than a handout to those who need it. The remarkable work that Covenant House does empowers youth to not only help themselves but also their community in building a strong future.
On November 21st, we are challenging business leaders to spend one night sleeping on the street to raise funds to support our Residential Crisis Programs.
You can help by making a donation to support a Sleep Out participant. Join the Sleep Out movement and make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of homeless youth.
On any given night there are between 500 and 1,000 young people living on the streets in Vancouver. Vancouver's downtown streets are dangerous. Sexual exploitation, drug abuse, poverty and illness are commonplace.
Many youth are re-victimized on the streets, having fled one unsafe situation only to find their circumstances are often worse. Exposed to the elements, lonely, afraid and without hope; this is the reality for our youth.
