At Moorelands Kids, we see the real-life examples of generosity every day. When you give your time, resources or even just encouragement, you are directly supporting programs that change the lives of children and youth who need them most. You’re helping kids build confidence, friendships and leadership skills so that they have the tools they need to succeed.
Giving Tuesday is a global movement that celebrates the spirit of generosity, and this year it takes place on December 2nd. We’re once again partnering with our long-time supporter, The Ward Family Foundation, who have pledged to match donations up to $40,000.
What does this mean for you? It means that your impact, no matter how big or small, is doubled.
When you donate to Moorelands Kids on Giving Tuesday, your donation goes even further. That means more opportunities for children and youth, more kids served, more memories made and skills learned. It means one more child who gets to go to camp in the summer, one more low-income family supported during the holidays, or one more teen inspired to be a positive role model.
Your simple act of generosity supports vital behind-the-scenes work so that our organization can continue running programs that make a real impact.
“Moorelands is a place where you can learn about yourself, interact with others and have a safe place to learn and grow as a leader. Moorelands makes everything fun and intentional so that everyone, kids and staff, can learn about themselves as leaders. It’s a place where I’m allowed to thrive.” – Frisbee, Moorelands Alumni & Camp Staff
“Holiday Sharing was the reason I got Christmas presents when I was a kid. My parents couldn’t afford a lot of gifts for us, and some years those were the only gifts we got. I can’t imagine how much of a relief it was to my parents to have that support.” – Molly, Moorelands Camp Alumni and Former Holiday Sharing Recipient
“To me, Moorelands is a very important place because it is somewhere I can go and relax from my daily life. I come from Toronto, and everything’s really so stressed there. I have school and different activities, and everyone expects things of me. And I feel that Moorelands is a place where I can relax and just be myself. I can be whatever I want to be and have a place to grow.” – Omar, Moorelands Camper
These are the children and youth who have been changed by Moorelands Kids programs, and we couldn’t do it without your support. With your help, we can strengthen our Resilient Kids Fund to support the operational costs for all of our programs. Your donation on Giving Tuesday helps invest in a strong foundation for Moorelands Kids so that our programs can continue to be sustainable and grow.
So, this Giving Tuesday, join the generosity movement and help us in our mission to build a world where every child has the opportunity to grow up confident, capable and kind.
