This holiday season, give back to children and youth in need by supporting vital programs that help them thrive. When children have access to tools that nurture their mental and emotional health, they’re better equipped to learn, build positive relationships, and grow into resilient adults who serve our nation with integrity and leadership. Give back this season by choosing a Joy Box—each one funds a meaningful program for children and youth, including counselling, drumming, dance, and swimming sessions, positive energy classroom toolkits, food support for our Youth Drop-In Centre, and more!

Joy Box 1: Swimming Empowers

10 swimming lessons and mentoring sessions for young boys living together in residential care homes without their biological families. Please keep young boys engaged in healthy activities that support their physical health and mental well-being so that they may grow into confident and compassionate young men.

Joy Box 2: Rhythm Heals

Give ten therapeutic rhythmic classes for children living in residential or foster care. The classes nurture emotional resilience, support trauma healing, and empower children with tools for self-regulation—through the transformative power of movement and rhythm.

Joy Box 3: Food Nourishes

Nourish teenagers who have aged out of residential care homes at 18 and who are trying to make it on their own. Many rely on food & essential packages from the Reach Within Food Pantry to make it through the week. Together, we can help them grow into healthy young adults and productive members of their communities.
