On September 29, Sheridan’s President and Vice Chancellor Dr. Janet Morrison will lead Team Sheridan at the second annual Sleep in Your Car Event organized by Home Suite Hope – a community organization that supports low-income, single parents in Halton Region by providing access to housing, education and skills development. Homelessness is a growing problem in Halton, and many people facing insecure housing find themselves living in their cars.
To raise awareness about this reality, Team Sheridan – which includes Morrison and Bachelor of Music Theatre Performance students – is one of five teams taking part in Sleep in Your Car. Each team gets in a vehicle, and has to sleep there for the night – unless they raise $25,000. Your support can have a big impact. Each $2,000 raised can feed and house a family for one month. Help Team Sheridan get a head start on that goal by donating here.
Sheridan is proud to be a cornerstone supporter of Home Suite Hope. For a number of years, Sheridan has supported single mothers in need by providing access to education and other educational supports.
“There is a great need, and when you find yourself in a position to be able to help, you jump at the chance,” Morrison says. “I’m proud Sheridan contributes to this very worthy organization and I’m proud to represent all of us as we help bring awareness to such important issues in our community. Please join me in providing your support. Take the time to appreciate the needs that exist, and learn how we all can help make a difference.”
