The Kitchener-Waterloo Association of REALTORS® (KWAR) is pleased to announce that it has donated $17,755 to benefit Lutherwood’s Safe Haven Shelter. The funds were raised through the Association’s 21st annual charity golf tournament held at Conestoga Golf Club on Tuesday, June 17, 2014.
At Safe Haven, children between the ages of 12 to 18 can find safety, shelter and support. Children knock on the door, any time of day and get a place to sleep, eat and counseling to help them find a better direction in their lives.
“Last year almost 600 children came to Safe Haven,” said Donna Buchan, Executive Director of Lutherwood Child and Family Foundation. “Many of these children are experiencing conflict and family breakdown, struggling with mental health issues, poverty, and conflict with the law, addiction and abusive home situations. This donation means a lot as it will enable us to continue to provide a safe and supportive environment for youth at risk of being homeless.”
