5 DAYS FOR THE HOMELESS

What is Five Days? 

5 Days is a national campaign run by the Canadian Association of Business Students that strive to raise awareness of members of society that are at risk of experiencing homelessness. 

What are we doing to support?

Traditionally, 5 Days was conducted in a way that had students volunteers living outside on campus for 5 days to help raise awareness of the issues of homelessness in Canada. Due to ethical concerns, the SBSS has decided to shift gears this year by doing 5 days of charitable initiatives. All proceeds will go to "Operation Come Home".
