You can impact our community from November 28 to December 5 by supporting the 12th and final Stay Up Ottawa, YSB’s citywide fundraising event to end youth homelessness. Homelessness affects over 1,400 young people in Ottawa every year. With your support, we’re determined to raise $75,000 to fund YSB’s 2 emergency shelters and 4 housing buildings, providing critical resources to help youth have safe housing and build brighter futures. How You Can Help: • Sponsor or Partner: Your business can play a leading role in this initiative, aligning your brand with a powerful cause. • Participate and Fundraise: Choose a fundraising method that suits you or your team and join the movement. • Make a Donation: You can make an online gift to support Stay Up Ottawa for the last time. • Spread the Word: Share this with your network to amplify the call to action. As a thank you for all those wonderful years, we’re hosting a special in-person celebration for participants, an excellent opportunity to connect with others making a difference. When businesses, community leaders, and individuals come together, we can create meaningful change. Together, we can ensure that no youth in our city is left without a place to call home.

Everything changes when we house homeless youth. #CommunityLeadership #EndingYouthHomelessness #StayUpOttawa #YSBOtt #CSR #OttawaBusinesses

🌟Myth: Donating to Homelessness Charities Doesn’t Make a Difference 🌟Reality: Every contribution counts. Your support helps us provide vital identification documents that open doors to housing, employment, and a fresh start for those in need. Without these essential IDs, many individuals remain stuck in a cycle of homelessness, unable to access the services that can change their lives. In fact, just $12 gets a state ID in the hands of someone looking to end their homelessness! At Homeless ID Project, we see the impact of every donation firsthand. Each dollar goes toward helping someone take that critical first step toward stability and independence. Want to make a difference? Your donation can help us continue this life-changing work. Donate Today: HIDP.org and click ‘Donate’ or text hidp to 44321. Let’s work together to give everyone the opportunity for a fresh start. ❤️ #EndHomelessness #HomelessIDProject #EveryDonationCounts #SupportChange #MakeADifference

YOU CAN HELP! For 325 days (and Counting) I've raised the alarm that youth 10 to 19 have no emergency #safe housing anywhere in Ocean or Monmouth County, NJ. CLCL Foundation has innovative solutions to address and end youth homelessness, plus supports for families, caregivers, and resource parents. As a former foster and adopted youth and teen runaway, I know how powerful interventions can be in creating better outcomes. You can help BE THE CHANGE by donating to the registered 501(c)(3), Choose love. Celebrate life. A Foundation for Youth and Families, Inc. Or joining the CLCL team to create evidence-based, trauma-informed, antiracist and inclusive programs. Only together can we have enough wisdom to do this is right way -- the better way. https://clclfoundation.org

Not sure where to donate this year? As someone who has experienced being temporarily un-housed and someone who works with those who are temporarily housed, may I suggest donating to Family Promise of Sussex County, NJ? I have worked directly with them and know that the donations go directly to help families. Thank you in advance for even reading this post from Chris Butto, Executive Director. ------------------------ Give the Gift of Home! Your commitment to helping individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis in our community is sincerely appreciated. Because of your and other donors' generosity and support, Sussex County saw a 33% decrease in homelessness from 2023 to 2024! Your contribution is part of an ongoing effort to make a lasting impact on our community. Although we've made significant progress, there is more work to be done: 1 in 3 individuals experiencing homelessness in Sussex County is a child under the age of 18. 1 in 5 un-sheltered individuals have been experiencing homelessness for over a year. 1 in 3 individuals experiencing homelessness reported having at least one disability. These statistics underscore the ongoing need for our work. Your contribution, big or small, is more than just a donation; it's a life-changing gift. Give the Gift of Home! Your generosity can make a monumental difference in the lives of struggling families. Imagine a mother who can tuck her children into their beds in a safe, warm home because of your donation. Envision one of our nation's heroes having a safe place to rest his head at night, all because of your support. Will you stand with us once again and renew your commitment to these families? Your donation is not just a gift; it's a promise of home, hope, and new beginnings. Thank you for your continued support and being a beacon of light in our community. Give the Gift of Home! With gratitude, Chris Butto Executive Director P.S. Remember, when you give, you're not just changing lives; you're setting an entire family on a path to a better, self-sufficient future. Your donation is their promise. Don't wait; donate today and join their journey to a brighter future. #donation #homelessness #unhoused https://lnkd.in/eNZQ-FNi

It’s #GivingTuesday!💕 Today, I ask your support in helping One Happy Mama raise $5,000 to create an emergency housing fund for the young mothers in our community. At One Happy Mama, we believe that every mother deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Unfortunately, housing instability is a major challenge for many young mothers. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 1 in 4 households with children experience some form of housing insecurity. For these moms, a lack of stable housing makes it even harder to break the cycle of poverty, focus on their goals, and care for their children. With your help, we can ensure these mothers have access to the support they need during times of crisis. One Happy Mama is a community-driven organization, and it’s because of YOUR support that we can continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of the families we serve. Please consider donating today and be a part of this mission to help moms stay grounded and thrive. 💕 https://lnkd.in/gTQUKGBk #onehappymama #SupportMoms #CommunityCare #HousingForAll #momnonprofit #nonprofitsformoms
