Operation Come Home assists youth experiencing homelessness to achieve their goals, and avoid the experience of homelessness as an adult. We offer Employment, Education, Housing, Mental Health, Harm Reduction, and Drop In programs for at-risk youth aged 16-29. Our programs focus on what works and what matters to youth, as well as encourage the personal growth of everyone as an individual.

  • Do you have a lot of empties accumulating at home? Or do you run a restaurant that would like to remove these on a regular basis? Visit bottleworks.ca to find out how we can take away your empties and offer you a tax receipt!
