Fall is upon us again and I am once again teaming up to do all I can to raise funds for SOY. So many of you have been generous and consistent supporters of this program and we hope very much that you will continue to help SOY and the Sherbourne Health Centre make a difference in the lives of 2SLGBTQi+ youth and young adults.
SOY is an innovative and award-winning program that supports the health and well-being goals of 2SLGBTQ youth and young adults. On the afternoon of Saturday October 22, donors, businesses, community partners, volunteers, and allies will come together to support and celebrate these 2SLGBTQ youth.Support has never been more crucial than during these past years which saw these youth experiencing greater social isolation and anxiety, food insecurity, and job loss brought on by the pandemic. Please consider joining us and donating to SOY's annual fundraiser and know that your gift will have a direct impact on 2SLGBTQ youth in our community."...as a queer and trans teenager on the run from an abusive and transphobic home environment, attending the SOY program when I got into Toronto helped me find community and support. I was able to access health care services, get fed regularly, and learn about issues relevant to the LGBTQ+ community. (SOY client)
