flag A homeless challenge raised $4,533 for Larry’s Place, a men’s shelter forced to cut hours due to funding shortfalls.

flag The Elliot Lake Women’s Group held a four-day Homeless Challenge from October 23 to 26 to raise awareness and funds for Larry’s Place, a men’s emergency shelter facing severe funding shortages. flag Four participants lived in tents without indoor shelter or consistent food, enduring cold temperatures and sleep deprivation to simulate homelessness. flag The event raised $4,533, a fraction of the shelter’s $400,000 annual operating cost. flag Due to insufficient funding, Larry’s Place will reduce operations from 24/7 to 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. starting December 1, limiting access for homeless men. flag Organizers emphasized the emotional and physical hardships of homelessness and the urgent need for sustained community support to maintain critical services.
