Our team at the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa (YSB) is deeply grateful for the Christmas Cheer Foundation’s tremendous and continued support of at-risk youth in our programs. Last year, your generous contribution allowed YSB to purchase and provide grocery gift cards for youth in our three Long-Term Housing residences, and also provide a special holiday meal to homeless and street-involved young people at our downtown Drop-In Centre and two Emergency Youth Shelters. Especially during the holidays, these gifts and gestures are truly special to the young people who receive them – thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

– Patti Murphy, Executive Director at YSB Foundation

“Thank you so much for all your assistance to the Kosher Food Bank. Your monthly food donations and the holiday vouchers helped us to maintain our hamper program. We really appreciate the difference being a member agency of the Ottawa Food Bank has made.”

– Karen and Linda, The Kosher Food Bank

“We would like to express our gratitude for all the holiday extras we received. These extras allowed families the opportunity to take part and celebrate the holidays. This allowed our families to enjoy items that they would otherwise not be able to afford…thank you for your ongoing support and generosity.”

– Nicole, Orleans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre

Youville Centre is extremely grateful to you for the donation of hams, turkeys and food vouchers which you provided for our young families this Christmas. Christmas can often be a time of great stress for our mothers as they attempt to provide for their children. Your donation helped make this time of the year happier and less demanding for all of our young parents.

– Judith, Youville Centre
