Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation Holiday Donations Needed

Another holiday season is upon us and now, more than ever, children, youth and families in Windsor and Essex County need your support!

As the countdown to the 2024 holidays continues, the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation (WECAF) is seeing first-hand the multitude of challenges experienced by families and youth, particularly youth who
live independently.

Most of these individuals deal with financial and social challenges that make it even more difficult to celebrate what should be a joyous time of year.

This is where the WECAF Holiday Program attempts to fill in the gaps to assure that a meal, warm clothing, household items, and individual gifts are all part of enriching the lives of the children, youth, and
families that the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society supports.

Through the generosity of our community, close to 1,200 children and youth served by the Society will have gifts under their Christmas trees this year. However, to ensure that each child and their families have food over the holidays, WECAF is appealing to the community to help with a financial contribution to cover the cost of grocery gift cards. The need is enormous.

A suggested donation that will support the average family of four is $150, however any amount is welcome. Please visit: wecaf.on.ca to donate today.

The Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation is grateful to the donors who continue to support our most vulnerable citizens during this holiday season and beyond. Thank you in advance for your help!
