2011 Holiday Wish List
You can help make this holiday season a memorable and nurturing occasion for the youth who call Phoenix home. You may want to help by donating much-needed gifts or sponsoring a youth for the holidays. It would be greatly appreciated if you could arrange delivery of any wish list items before December 16th although we will still make great use of them after that date!
Sponsor a youth for the holidays – A donation of $150 will help provide each youth in our residential programs with a special present under the tree on Christmas Day.
Bus tickets - Many youth do not have extra funds to ensure they get to their destination safely. Bus tickets provide a safe form of transportation. Stocking stuffers - shampoo, hand cream, razors (male and female styles welcome), shaving cream, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, skin care products, chapstick, socks, coffee shop gift cards (smaller denominations), chocolate and candy. Warm winter clothing & accessories - At this time of year we want to ensure that each youth is well-equipped to deal with outside temperatures. You can help with donations such as coats, mittens, gloves, scarves, hats (warm winter toque-style) and warm blankets. Socks and underwear - As simple as it sounds, youth rely on your donations to provide them with underclothes helping to keep them warm and comfortable throughout the year. Gift certificates - Examples include grocery stores, department stores, coffee shops, clothing stores, movie theatres or movie rental certificates. These will help our youth now and throughout the year. Age-appropriate items for children under 5 - You can choose to provide items for their children such as diapers, clothing, wet-wipes, hats & mittens, unwrapped toys, baby food and children’s books. Apartment Starter Kit - help a youth who is moving out on their own by supplying some essentials such as: linens, blankets, pillows, clothing hangers, towels, hand towels and face cloths, a shower curtain and hooks, small garbage pail, dishes, cutlery, cleaning supplies, broom, mop, candles, spatula, pots, pans, and mixing bowls. Items can be dropped off at: 6035 Coburg Road or phone us at 902-422-3105 www.phoenixyouth.ca Many thanks for your generosity this holiday season.
