For homeless youth, the pandemic makes it’s even harder to find a warm, safe place to sleep.
For homeless youth, the pandemic makes it’s even harder to find a warm, safe place to sleep.
Teenage years are hard enough … imagine going through them without a place to call home. This holiday season, hundreds of local youth are facing this reality. When you give to United Way, you provide basic needs and services they depend on to build a more stable life.
We’re learning to carry on, but the needs haven’t gone away. Many young people in your community are still struggling.
Your donation will:
- Ensure youth experiencing homelessness have the technology they need to connect with counsellors and social services.
- Strengthen mental health and addiction supports for vulnerable youth.
- Provide housing and employment supports, so they can build a brighter future.
- Supply toiletries and other basic needs so they can stay healthy.
Because of you, this holiday season will be brighter for your neighbours in need.
Your donation will be matched by Scotiabank* to help fuel measurable, 100% local change across East Ontario.
Donate today and your gift will be matched by Scotiabank*. Make it monthly and double your impact all year long!
