Revive, Rebuild, Renew:
A Kitchen Makeover for Hope
Raising $25,000 for a new Raido House Kitchen
Did you know the pipes in Raido House freeze every year?
The kitchen was built incorrectly originally, along an outside, uninsulated wall with exposed plumbing that runs through the basement above a window. As such, the pipes freeze every year, sometimes making the kitchen inoperable during cold snaps.
This initiative aims to refurbish the kitchen facilities at Raido House, a pivotal component of our Roofs for Youth Program. Raido House offers long-term, place-based housing for youth under 18 years without Children’s Services support, providing a stable and supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and transition towards independence.

Project Objectives
- Enhance the nutritional health and well-being of the residents through upgraded kitchen facilities.
- Provide a functional and modern space for life skills development, including cooking and nutritional planning.
- Foster a sense of community and belonging among residents through shared meal preparation and dining experiences.
- Address infrastructure challenges, particularly the recurring issue of freezing plumbing during winter months.
- Ensure the long-term sustainability of the Raido House program by improving its facilities.
Housing Hoodies for Hope
You can grab a hoodie created by our housing team at CJHS to help support the Raido House Kitchen Renovation!
In 2019 Canada passed the National Housing Strategy Act, recognizing housing as a human right and committing the federal government to take action to improve housing access and reduce homelessness.
These hoodies celebrate the diversity of all persons and remind us to think creatively when supporting those who do not yet have a place to call home.
