Did you know that this year YES launched a Housing Support Fund for the youth and families it serves? This fund allows YES to support individuals with:

-Emergency Rental Funding

-Groceries

-Bus Passes

-Moving Expenses

-Furniture/home goods

We have seen how this fund has made a difference to youth and families and has allowed them to maintain their housing. We know that as costs rise, more and more vulnerable youth and families will need this fund for the foreseeable future.

With this in mind, YES will be raising funds over the winter to keep the Housing Support Fund going through 2023. Over the next month, we will be posting more information about how this fund can help the vulnerable youth and families of Victoria and how you can support our fundraiser.

In the meantime though, if you would like to make a donation to help keep the Housing Support Fund available to vulnerable youth and families, please visit our Canada Helps page at: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/the-victoria-youth-empowerment-society/. Simply add the #stockingsofhope in the information box and we will know that you would like your donation to go towards the Housing Support Fund.
