As we look toward the new year, we are reminded that the holiday season is often a time of struggle for youth without the safety of family, a home, or the means to enjoy the simple joys of the season. For many, the holidays heighten feelings of isolation and uncertainty.

You can be the light in their lives by providing essential items to support the youth that accesses 360°kids services. These gifts go beyond material needs—they provide a sense of belonging, stability, and hope for a better future.

By contributing, you can make a meaningful impact:

$10: Provides a $10 gift card to a youth client.

$25: The fresh produce for a youth client. 

$50: Allows 360°kids' programs to purchase items for youths most urgent needs.

$75: Provides a youth accessing our Connections Emergency Housing for the night, with a new bedding set, complete with a duvet cover, pillow and sheets.

$100: Support a youth with one month's worth of public transit to go to and from school, job interviews and essential appointments.

$200: Sponsor a meal at one of our youth housing programs.

$400: Provides one month of rent for a youth living in one of our 12 transitional apartments.

$1,000: Sponsor a meal for all of our youth at Home Base in Richmond Hill. This includes all 50 youth within our Connections, STAY and Home Base programs.
