Plant Seeds of Hope – Grow Brighter Futures

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and possibility. At Peel CAF, we’re planting Seeds of Hope to ensure children, youth, and families in our community have the resources and support they need to flourish.

What is Seeds of Hope?

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and new beginnings—just like the opportunities your support can create for children, youth, and families. Seeds of Hope is a fundraising campaign dedicated to providing financial resources that help young people thrive. Your generosity can help fund programs and services that nurture childhoods by providing access to safe spaces, educational supports, and basic necessities; empower youth by helping them develop skills, pursue education, and connect with mentorship opportunities; and strengthen families by offering financial support that helps them navigate challenges and build stability. By contributing to Seeds of Hope, you are helping create opportunities, offer support, and provide hope—one seed at a time.

Why Does it Matter?

Right now, we’re receiving more requests for support than ever before—about two each day—and the demand keeps growing.

We’ve even run out of funds for our Wishes for Kids program, yet families continue to reach out for help.

Your support today can make a real difference. By giving, you provide financial resources that help children, youth, and families access opportunities, overcome challenges, and build a brighter future.

You have the power to create change—because to a child in need, your generosity isn’t just a donation. It’s hope, possibility, and a chance for something better.

Stories of Hope 🌱

Real stories, real impact. In this section, you'll hear from youth involved with Peel Children's Aid Society and a dedicated social worker who supports families every day. These stories highlight the powerful difference your support makes. As the fundraising partner of Peel CAS, we are proud to help provide the financial resources that make these moments of hope and progress possible.
Peel Children’s Aid Society (CAS) has provided me with invaluable support, tools, and opportunities for growth and development through its various programs. Programs like Shannon’s Creative Connections have allowed me to express myself creatively while building confidence and important life skills.
— Maya, youth in care
When I met Emily, she was overwhelmed, facing housing and legal struggles. With our support, she and her family found stability. Now, they’re thriving, and I’m proud to have been part of their journey.
Early Help Worker, Peel CAS
Support from Peel CAS and peers has played a crucial role in managing my stress, anxiety, and mental health. Programs that I’ve attended have provided a safe space to express my feelings and engage in creative activities, which are therapeutic for me.
— Julianne, a former youth in care
Peel CAS has supported me in my goals, my health, my education, my safety, and they always accepted me for who I am, and I feel so loved by that. The workers have helped me through a lot since I came to Canada in such a short period of time.
— Derrick, a former youth in care
It helped me with socialization in CAS a lot of the time social interactions are neglected because we are traumatized, with these groups it’s professional and safe warming environments that can help us forget about our chaotic lives, while also being amount people who have been through similar things.
— Elisa, a former youth in care
