Help Keep Their Dreams Alive!
Become A Dream Launcher!
You can help kids hold on to their hopes for a brighter future.
When you donate on an ongoing basis your kindness is shared with children and youth in child welfare at a time when they need it most.
Your monthly or yearly donation means these children, youth and their families, have a dependable base of support, investing in their future. Not only do we provide emergency needs, like a new bed, stroller, or clothing, but we fund preventative programs directed to where it’s needed most.

Why I Donate Every Month
“I donate generously every month to the Children’s Aid Society so children and youth have opportunities to play, learn and grow throughout the year. These kids need the community behind them and depend on you to give monthly. Today’s children are tomorrow’s future.”
