COVID Care

December 2021 - April 2022

For our initiative, Project Covid-Care, we wanted to give back to our community and focus on an

issue that many people have been influenced by recently. After conducting some research, we learned

about the impact of Covid-19 on homeless people and their mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic

negatively affects Canada's homeless population due to the increased environmental and medical

vulnerability, including their lack of access to preventive care and treatment. Our mission is to provide

enough packages so that the homeless youth in our community can have resources that will help them

through these difficult times. We will do this by delivering covid-care packages to homeless youth

shelters in our vicinity. We hope to give the youth of Ontario encouragement and let them know that we

are there for them during these times.
