Save Our Young Adults (SOYA) is facing a setback after its Gore Street depot closed due to a burst pipe. The organization, which serves people experiencing addiction and poverty, is working to salvage what it can and find temporary solutions. Meanwhile, community partners are stepping up to provide support, including free soup and warm clothing donations.
Volunteers are salvaging whatever they can from a Gore Street depot that serves people living with addiction and experiencing poverty after it closed last week due to a burst pipe .
"They're working super hard on the new building. They're really picking up the pace," said Raynor-Elliott. Raynor-Elliott said the drug testing kits are essential to prevent drug poisonings and she is unsure of how the organization will source more to replace the ones that were destroyed. While the depot remains closed, SOYA's street team continues to engage people and some partner agencies have stepped up to assist.
