The holiday season is a time of year where our community calls on all of us to help out just a little bit more and think of those that are in need of some help.
Here at vivaNext, staff are proud to be actively involved with the York Region Children’s Aid Society holiday Heroes program. The Holiday Heroes program helps by donating new toys, new clothing, new winter outerwear, toiletries, gift cards and food vouchers to the children and families served by the agency.
This year, we have joined together to personally sponsor a family of seven. Over the past two weeks, staff has been collecting everything from toiletries, toys, educational materials, practical items for teens and tweens – things we sometimes take for granted but that can be luxuries to a youth on a tight budget.
This season there are so many charitable organizations and agencies that are in need of support, be it money, merchandise, food or time. Sometimes the goodwill of the holiday season brings about great things.
At this time of year we would like to call to mind all the volunteers who tirelessly give of themselves to make life that much brighter and happier for those within our communities. Thank you!
