Another successful Orange Door Campaign celebrated
Cranbrook Home Depot and the Ktunaxa Nation have once again teamed up, and have raised over $15,000 for Operation Street Angel.
Racheal Nicholas, Ktunaxa Nation Council Social Sector Urban Services Manager said, “2020 was a difficult year for many people in the Cranbrook region. The pandemic has had a major effect on people from all walks of life, particularly those who look to Street Angel for community, services and support. I am very pleased but not surprised that even during this difficult time, the people of Cranbrook still were willing to open their hearts to donate to the Orange Door Project.”
