Yonge Street Mission

Happy National Grandparents' Day! At YSM, we recognize the vital role grandparents play in nurturing and supporting families, especially in times of need. Many families we serve are strengthened by the wisdom and love of grandparents who help guide and support them through life's challenges. Today, we honour and celebrate the grandparents who, with unconditional love, help their families thrive despite adversity. We will always support and uplift such pillars of strength in our community. #NationalGrandparentsDay #FamilySupport #ChangingLives #BuildingCommunity #BetterTogether

Last Thursday, we were honoured to have the incredible team from Dancap Family Investment Office volunteer at our Evergreen Centre as part of Project: GENERAT1ON. They prepared and served both lunch and dinner, making a tangible difference in the lives of the youth YSM serves. We received this message from Dolcita B, their Executive Office Manager, after their day spent volunteering: "Thank you and your team so much for the opportunity to participate in one of YSM's many programs that benefit the community so greatly. While we know there is a desperate need for organizations like yours, we were still awestruck to know that so many people desperately need your services. We commend you and the many staff and volunteers for your hard work and dedication as we only had a little taste of what you do daily." We are grateful for partners like Dancap who contribute their time and energy to help us support our community. Together, we are making a real impact! #YongeStreetMission #ProjectGENERAT1ON #GroupEngagement #TeamBuilding #Volunteering #GroupsGivingBack #NeighboursHelpingNeighbours #ChangingLives #BuildingCommunity #BetterTogether
