How Your Soup Challenge Donations Can Help Young People Here in Brantford
Wondering where your donations go? When we say that your contributions the the 17th annual Soup Challenge go towards helping youth facing homelessness here in Brantford and Brant, we mean in very basic, relatable, and impactful ways.
Our shelters and housing programs have a constant need for items such as:
- Individual hygiene supplies
- Pyjamas, underwear, socks, and slippers
- Clothing and shoes
- Bedding, pillowcases, fitted and flat sheets
- Plus, floor mats, entrance carpets, and bath towels
Young people who are staying with us also need:
- City bus passes
- Gas cards for outings
- Recreational passes, such as movies, mini golf, Grand River conservation passes
- Craft supplies
The warmer weather is coming and with the long COVID and several quarantines and lockdowns, people need to get outside. Our residential facilities are looking to provide our guests with:
- Barbecues for Cornerstone and Station House
- Barbecue foods
- Basketball nets
- Exercise equipment
- Outdoor (patio) furniture
Plus, we provide support to people in the community who need employment, addictions and mental health services, shelter and housing, and justice services, and we could not do it without your help.
You can make an online donation to the 17th annual Soup Challenge and the programs we offer to youth experiencing homelessness in Brantford.
The Soup Challenge was released on May 27th, 2022. You can see the full event on our YouTube channel, and you can watch the trailers for the competition right here.
