The staff at Avison Young Winnipeg recently helped out at Red Road Lodge.

Staff from Avison Young Winnipeg recently lent a hand to Winnipeg’s homeless community at Red Road Lodge, a 40-room transitional housing facility that provides shelter and employment.  All residents must be sober and drug free.

Siloam Mission, another organization helping people in Winnipeg, hands out donated clothing to the poor and homeless, but used to throw out the children’s clothing. Red Road Lodge saw an opportunity to assist and put a program in place to take the children’s clothing, sort it and ship it to reserves up north where items are very expensive. Avison Young assisted in the process of sorting the clothing at the mission and transporting it back to Red Road Lodge. AY also purchased pizza for over 40 of the volunteers, staff and residents at Red Road Lodge.
