Burnaby Children's Fund began in 1991 in response to the identified needs of Burnaby children and their families. We are now in our 28th year of service and despite the increased support provided by our government we continue to have children come to school hungry and without adequate footwear and clothing.

​

This past year we raised $64,000. With this money we provided food gift cards, footwear, clothing, beds and linens, as well as medicine and medical aides for families. The response from the children and their families has been positive and heartwarming. To all of you who have donated to the Fund, you have our heartfelt gratitude.

 

When you donate $20 or more you will be issued a tax receipt for your donation from SBYS. You may also  choose to designate Burnaby Children's Fund as your donation to United Way and United Way will issue you a donation receipt for tax receipt.

Supporting Burnaby Youth Society (SBYS) is managed by a committee of counsellors and teachers. We believe that participation in a wide range of recreational, social and leadership activities that will:

• foster the development of healthy attitudes

• encourage and enable young people to make healthy lifestyle choices;

• improve self-esteem and self-confidence;

• assist in strengthening personal values including respect for one’s self, others and personal property.

 

Unlike most charities, there are no administration costs as our work in the community is voluntary. We anticipate that requests for support will be as frequent as they have been in the past years. We are beginning our annual fundraising activities and hope that you will support our efforts. We cannot do this without you.
