5 Easy Ways to Support Shelterlink This January!

5 Easy Ways to Support Shelterlink This January! January often brings with it a sense of renewal and the opportunity to make a positive impact. At Shelterlink Youth Services, we’re kicking off the new year with hope and determination to continue supporting youth on their path to stability. But we can’t do it without you! Here are five meaningful ways you can help us this January: 1. Purchase a Discounted Car Wash at Halo Car Wash Winter roads can leave your car coated in salt and grime, but we’ve partnered with Halo Car Wash to offer you an amazing deal to keep your car looking spotless! Get a Platinum Wash (normally $28) for just $20! Stock up to keep your car in pristine condition all season long, or gift some to friends and family. Plus, half the proceeds go directly to our organization, helping us to continue supporting homeless youth in our community. Get your washes here. 2. Donate Items From Our Wishlist The colder months are especially hard for youth experiencing homelessness. Donations of food, as well as new or gently used items can make a huge difference in their day-to-day lives! Right now, we have an urgent need for shoes (both men’s and women’s), new bras, new men’s underwear, and laundry detergent. Drop off your donations at our shelter (130 Youngs Street, 3rd Floor – open 24/7) or organize a collection drive with friends and family. Check out our full Wish List here. 3. Try a Karma Class at Modo Yoga Stratford Find your zen while giving back! Modo Yoga is offering special Karma classes every Friday at 5:30 PM this January. The proceeds from these donation-based classes will go toward supporting Shelterlink Youth Services. Stretch, breathe, and support a great cause! All levels of experience welcome. 4. Join Us for Stratford’s Coldest Night of the Year The Coldest Night of the Year is our biggest fundraiser event of the year! It’s an annual winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of Shelterlink and the Stratford Connection Centre. Let’s change the tune for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness because it’s cold out there! Join us on February 22, 2025 – team up, fundraise, and walk with us! Learn more or sign up here. 5. Become a Monthly Donor Consistent support is crucial to sustaining the services we offer. By becoming a monthly donor, you help us plan ahead and ensure youth have access to the resources they need all year long. Even a small monthly contribution can have a lasting impact! Youth are the future of our community! Help them by donating here. Every Action Counts! Whether you’re donating, fundraising, or helping us spread the word, your efforts this January help create a brighter future for youth in our community.
