❤️ "I didn't have hope. It gave me hope."

Those words from a former program participant have stayed with Wiarton business owner Josie Myles ever since she first heard them.

💬 "People might know about the food bank or Christmas assistance, but there's so much more happening. They're changing lives every day."

One program that especially resonated with her was Trade Start, which helps at-risk youth and young adults gain skills, confidence, and employment opportunities.

💬 "When you see the impact these programs have on people's lives, you know your support is making a difference."

Thank you, Josie, for your ongoing generosity and commitment to helping others build brighter futures. 💙

Read her inspiring story and learn how hope is transforming lives in your community.
