Recipient story
Gift cards help us feed youth who arrive hungry from DV and overcrowded homes, giving them food in a safe, supportive space.
First Nations Support
Domestic & Family Violence
Many young people who come to our hub are living with the ongoing effects of domestic violence and unstable home environments. For some, there is little or no food at home. Others live in overcrowded houses where food runs out quickly, leaving them unsure of when they will eat next.
These young people often arrive hungry but carry deep shame about asking for help. Many have learned to stay quiet about their needs in order to feel safe. Hunger compounds existing trauma, affecting their wellbeing, concentration, and sense of dignity.
Our hub exists as a safe, caring space where young people are welcomed without judgment. Meeting basic needs is a vital part of helping them feel seen, supported, and worthy of care. Without this support, many would continue to face hunger while navigating already complex and painful circumstances.
