Many of our clients live on limited incomes, and at times, require support for basic necessities such as food and shelter. Donations made to YSSN help individuals with their wellness journey by providing them with the financial assistance and resources they need to help them with their recovery.
Currently, 100% of all donations received via cash, cheque, or e-transfer are distributed to clients through our Client Fund or go directly to the specified program or special event donors choose to support.
Client Fund
Client Fund donations help individuals with mental health or addiction needs (who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless) by providing them with financial assistance to help them with their recovery.
The Up Your Life Guide
The Up Your Life Guide (formerly the York Region on a Limited Budget book) donations will go towards print costs of the guide so that more guides can be made available at no cost to York Region residents.
Designated Contributions
Designated financial contributions may go towards specific YSSN programs or events, such as our Short-Term Crisis Bed Program, client picnics in the summer, peer support event in the fall and holiday client luncheons.
Food Security
Food insecurity is at an all time high. For just $2 a day, you can support someone struggling with food security. Donate to YSSN to help us help those we work with. Your donation goes towards the purchase of necessary goods like grocery store gift cards.
