How we help make a difference...
Value Vault Program
Our Value Vault initiative is aimed at bringing youth from low income families basic essentials.
This program operates in a number of high schools within Greater Sudbury and provides access to clothing, hygiene products and food. It is estimated that 30 to 40 students use this service daily.
With your help, we can continue to provide these basic necessities to youth in need.
The Play Program
Did you know one in three Canadian families cannot afford to enroll their children in sports or recreation activities?
The PLAY (Positive Leisure Activities for Youth) Program is dedicated to removing barriers so children can participate in organized sport and recreation. Children who are eligible for the program can access up to $250 per seasonal application to help pay for leisure activities.
Children benefit from organized sport and recreation as they gain self-confidence, develop self-esteem, learn leadership skills, and improve their overall well-being. This is the power of PLAY.
