Over $50,000 Raised at Annual Golf Tournament

On September 12th, we hosted our annual Golf Tournament at Flamborough Hills Golf Club.

The CCASH is grateful for the continuous support of community members who make it possible for youth to create brighter futures for themselves. Funds raised will go directly to helping youth pay for necessities and life enhancing work opportunities.

We are grateful for everyone who participated, donated or sponsored the event. Their involvement has contributed to the success of the tournament with over $50,000 raised to help youth aging out of care.

Give the Gift of Joy this Holiday Season

The holidays are right around the corner and the Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton has an opportunity for you to help put children first through the annual Give the Gift of Joy holiday campaign.

Monetary donations have shown to provide those we serve with necessities as well as the independence to make purchases of their own for the holidays. With rising inflation, and cost of food increasing, those in our vulnerable communities need your help now more than ever. You have the chance to double your impact with the Diocese of Hamilton matching donations. Sharing information with your peers helps to spread the message of how more people can make an impact this holiday season. Follow our social media for more campaign information as we approach the holiday season @ccashamilton.

There are 3 main groups being supported:

• helping youth to lead independent lives through education and stable housing
• supporting Kin families with the essentials needed for children in their care
• addressing food insecurity to support families we serve

Your donation will go directly to helping those in need. A donation of $50 will help a youth living independently afford food, and a donation of $150 can go as far as helping a family create a magical holiday for the children in their home. Call our office or scan the QR code below to give the gift of joy.

Every gift counts.

Dress Purple Day

On October 27th, staff dressed in purple to support Dress Purple Day as it offered an opportunity to remind adults about the important role they play in supporting vulnerable children, youth, and families.

Staff also shared sentiments on why they dress purple. One of our staff members shared the following:

"I wear purple today to show the need for all families to build and find community, have access to basic needs, affordable housing, affirmative health care and to feel seen, heard and supported in their time of need and struggle."
