If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

New Youth Shelter in York Region, Canada

Homeless young people will now have a place to stay with Monday's opening of the new $1-million Sutton Youth Shelter in the former St. Bernadette elementary school on Dalton Road.

Funded by York Region, the Salvation Army will be the service providers. The shelter will be open 24/7 and experienced front-line staff members will be on hand to direct young people aged 16 to 26 who come through the door, according to director Kathy Aitken. It is the only shelter of its kind in York Region.
