FOR OUR YOUTH
L ast year we embarked on our first-ever capital campaign for an affordable housing build in honor of Options Community Service’s 50th anniversary. Thanks to our first 50 Women of Options, and partnerships like yours, the campaign was a success and the 100-unit complex at 81st Avenue and King George Boulevard is in development! Changing The Game
This year some of these remarkable women are back, along with new faces in the group. They have a passion to join Options in making life-altering differences in the lives of youth in our community. We call them and their supporters, Gamechangers! This year we are raising $1.5 million to develop a discretionary fund to assist youth who need the kind of support that cannot otherwise be provided in a timely manner, if at all, by other agencies or the government. This includes financial support as well as enhanced support services and mentorship when requested. “I am grateful and humbled once again, as our Women of Options (both returning and new) have stepped up to the plate and generously volunteered to be a “voice” for our Gamechangers campaign.”
CHRISTINE MOHR CEO, OPTIONS COMMUNITY SERVICES
Each “Woman of Options” has committed to help raise $25,000 towards a long term discretionary fund for Options Community Services to be able to administer in unique and timely ways in support of youth in need in our community. Your support and encouragement will help them reach their goal. How it Works
