The YES Shelter for Youth and Families has received a major donation from the Rotary Club of Peterborough.
A cheque for $50,000 was handed over yesterday, along with $25,000 from the Rotary Club of Peterborough Kawartha.
This funding is allowing YES to open three new permanent spaces in their RISE Youth Housing Program by facilitating the renovation and maintenance of an existing RISE Youth Housing location.
YES has been providing emergency shelter and transitional housing to youth and families in Peterborough City and County since 2000.
