WesForYouth Online hosting special Giving Tuesday fundraiser

WesForYouth Online is hosting a special fundraiser for Giving Tuesday today.

The mental health advocacy group is looking for 24 donors in 24 hours, with the goal of having donors sponsor an hour of counselling for $160. That will raise just over $3,800 for local youth to get critical mental health services.

The team at WesForYouth has also partnered with CanadaHelps.org, and for every $25 donated to WesForYouth, CanadaHelps will put in an extra $5. You can donate to WesForYouth through the CanadaHelps website, or visit wesforyouthonline.ca.
