The Home Depot Canada Foundation has launched its annual spring Orange Door Project campaign with a goal of raising $1.3 million to support youth homelessness initiatives across Canada.
The campaign runs to June 14 and will direct funds to 127 local youth-serving organizations in communities where donations are collected, according to the foundation. The organization said the initiative follows its 2025 campaigns, which raised $2.9 million.
“The Orange Door Project campaign makes a powerful investment to help create new pathways for youth–among the more than 35,000 young people in Canada experiencing homelessness. With the unwavering support of our customers and associates, we’re driving real progress and we believe that together with our community partners, we can help end youth homelessness,” said Doug Graham, board chair of The Home Depot Canada Foundation and vice-president of e-commerce and marketing at The Home Depot Canada.
Canadians can donate to the campaign in stores or online through OrangeDoorProject.ca. The foundation said all funds raised will remain in the communities where they are collected.
The organization also said it will match all donations made in-store and online on May 23, marking the first time the foundation has offered matching contributions during the spring campaign.
In addition to direct donations, the foundation said customers can support the campaign by purchasing TradeWorx baseball caps, with net proceeds helping fund its TradeWorx initiative.
The program provides skills training and certifications for youth facing barriers to employment and housing, with the foundation saying the initiative partners with organizations across Canada to support more than 200 young people pursuing careers in the skilled trades.
The Home Depot Canada Foundation said its broader strategy focuses on preventing and ending youth homelessness through investments in housing, community supports and employment readiness programs.
The foundation has pledged $125 million in support by 2030.
According to the organization, it invested $12.2 million in grants in 2025, supporting 179 charitable partners and programs that included housing renovation projects, prevention programs, emergency short-term housing initiatives, trades training, and personal and professional development programs.
The foundation also said associates contributed more than 48,000 volunteer hours through its Team Depot volunteer program last year, with all stores participating in community events focused on shelters, housing units and youth centres.
