Homeless youth are struggling to stay safe during the pandemic.
Living on the streets, in the cold, without appropriate supports—it’s a reality for hundreds of local youth. Now, add in a pandemic. Those who are told to self isolate have nowhere to go, and it’s harder to stay safe.

Living on the streets, in the cold, without appropriate supports—it’s a reality for hundreds of local youth. Now, add in a pandemic. Those who are told to self isolate have nowhere to go, and it’s harder to stay safe.
As our communities grapple with the effects of the pandemic, your donation will:
- Provide youth experiencing homelessness with much needed connections to social services.
- Enable new and innovative ways to bridge the technology gap with youth so they can stay connected to counsellors and mentors.
- Give them a warm place to be in a safe, physically-distanced setting.
- Supply basic needs like masks and meals, so they’re able to stay safe and healthy.

be the bright light for a youth who needs you.
