When you sign up, you can create customized packages based on wish lists they receive directly from families and youth they work with, or collect the most needed items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it easy for donors, they created a Holiday Program Guidebook, which includes various ways to support, from shopping with wish lists to organizing a fundraiser\/collection\/drive\/group activity. While toys are always a good option, there\u2019s also a high need for items such as toiletries, clothes, cleaning supplies, baby items, electronics, and sports\/exercise items. Independent youth also struggle with acquiring kitchen items, from small appliances to cutlery, as well as tools and houseware\/d\u00e9cor. All of those bring them one step closer to independence.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses also have the option to become a shop &amp; drop or drop-off location to give donors more&nbsp; options to donate, and be added to their community map.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Giving back during the Holidays is so rewarding and the feedback we receive from families is more than&nbsp; enough to keep us going. It helps to bring the community together and every year, we see an increase in&nbsp; the number of requests, which makes us want to work even hard with our community to collect&nbsp; everything our families need,\u2019 according to Jerome Ben Tolila, Bilingual Manager of Communications &amp; Community Relations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an agency, their goal is to further support the safety and wellbeing of children, youth, and families in&nbsp; our community during times of hardship, helping them to find stability and thrive. Whether you\u2019re able&nbsp; to contribute financially, with an in-kind donation or gift cards, your support towards families, children&nbsp; and youth in need will go a long way!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to make a difference today?
