Bridge Builders Launches 4th Annual Holiday Gift Drive for Teens in Windsor-Essex Donation Collection

Bridge Builders has officially launched its 4th Annual Holiday Gift Drive for Teens, the only holiday gift drive in Windsor-Essex dedicated specifically to youth aged 13–18. While most major gift drives age out at 12, Bridge Builders fills a critical gap by ensuring local teens do not go overlooked during the holiday season.

This year, the organisation has already received a high number of teen registrations, and for the first time, past donations have been fully exhausted. Bridge Builders is now calling on the community and local businesses to support the drive by donating items, gift cards, or sponsoring individual teens.

“We want every teen on our list to feel seen and supported this Christmas,” said Victoria Rubio, Founder of Bridge Builders. “A hoodie, a journal, a gift card — even small gestures remind them that their community cares.”

Bridge Builders is currently in the donation collection period, running from now until December 20th. Community members can drop off new items, gift cards, or donate online. Pick-ups of donations are also available.
