Raising Hope for the Holidays

At Highbanks Society, we believe that every young mother and child deserves to experience the warmth and joy of the holiday season.

Our Raising Hope for the Holidays campaign is more than just a seasonal fundraising initiative—it's an opportunity to wrap our arms around vulnerable young families and show them they're not alone. Every day, we witness the incredible strength and resilience of young mothers who are working hard to create better futures for themselves and their children.

During the holiday season, these same mothers often face additional challenges, torn between pursuing their education, providing basic necessities, and creating magical moments for their children. This is where our community steps in.

Through monthly donations, you can provide consistent support that ensures our families have access to essential needs throughout the year—from bus passes that get mothers to school, to fresh fruits and vegetables that nourish growing children, to mental health services that support healing and growth. Your monthly gift of $10 helps a young mother get to her classes, while $25 ensures her family has healthy food on the table. A contribution of $50 supports crucial parenting and life skills programs, and $100 opens doors to post-secondary education or provides vital mental health counseling. For those able to give more, $200 helps with monthly rent subsidies, allowing mothers to focus on their studies, while $500 provides comprehensive support including housing, food security, and educational opportunities.

Beyond monthly giving, we invite you to share your time and talents with our community. Whether you're helping prepare nutritious meals, providing childcare support, or offering your professional skills, your presence makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our families. Every hour volunteered, every dollar donated, and every act of kindness shows our young mothers that they have a community standing behind them, cheering them on as they work toward their goals.

This holiday season, join us in raising hope for young mothers and their children. Together, we can create not just moments of joy, but lasting positive change that transforms lives for generations to come.

There is always room at our table, and your support—whether through monthly donations or volunteer time—helps ensure that every Highbanks family can look forward to a brighter tomorrow.
