About this service
Showers & Laundry
During the 2nd Chance drop-in program youth are able to do laundry. Each youth is able to do up to two loads of laundry per week. Detergent and fabric softener is provided. Youth who do not have access to a shower or hot water are able to have a shower during this time as well. Shampoo, soap and conditioner (and towels) provided.
Other Needs
There are many other things that youth need. Transportation across the Region for appointments and apartment viewings can be difficult without a car or bus fare. The Refuge offers youth bus tickets. ID (health card, birth certificate, Soc. Insurance Number, etc.) is essential today and The Refuge works with the youth to obtain these forms of ID.
Co-Op
One of the pitfalls of our culture is to just give things away, creating a culture of dependency when individuals are creative and able to bring their own solutions to the table. Based on this principle, The Refuge offers food, clothing, hygiene products to youth at a marginal cost
