SIMCOE MUSKOKA FAMILY CONNEXIONS
************************
Become a donor for Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions’ Holiday Program and make a significant difference.
The Holidays are around the corner and Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions is looking for community members and businesses to sign-up to become a donor for their 2024 Holiday Program. 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.
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’s 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/décor. All of those bring them one step closer to independence.
Businesses also have the option to become a shop & drop or drop-off location to give donors more options to donate, and be added to their community map.
"Giving back during the holidays is so rewarding and the feedback we receive from families is more than enough to keep us going. It helps to bring the community together and every year, we see an increase in the number of requests, which makes us want to work even hard with our community to collect everything our families need" – Jerome Ben Tolila
As an agency, their goal is to further support the safety and wellbeing of children, youth, and families in our community during times of hardship, helping them to find stability and thrive. Whether you’re able to contribute financially, with an in-kind donation or gift cards, your support towards families, children and youth in need will go a long way!
