Students Give Up Luxuries to Tackle Youth Homelessness
LETHBRIDGE – University students will be braving the elements for a good cause over the next five days.
Beginning on March 13, the students will be living on the U of L Students’ Union patio without their everyday luxuries.
They’ll construct a shelter from only cardboard and duct tape, electronics will be taken away and they’ll have to rely on generous by-passers for food. Until March 18, they’ll also be expected to attend their normal classes.
Over $55,000 has been raised for local charities over the course of the nine-year, annual fundraiser. The goal is to raise another $10,000 this year for Wood’s Homes.
