Summer to Remember 2017 – A CityKidz Project

city kidz logoShare the gifts of faith, hope, and love with inner city kids by making Summer 2017 one to remember.

For many inner city children, summer means two long and boring months until school begins again, simply because their families can’t afford the activities other children are involved in during summer vacation. Many of these children have never had the opportunity to experience camp life – a unique and often life-changing experience.

In 2016, CityKidz was able to help 30 children experience various summer camps, and this year they would love to increase that number to 45. But they need our help to do so! There are numerous expenses involved, including registration fees, transportation, sleeping bags, Bibles, and canteen costs. No gift is too small. $25 can help cover the cost of a sleeping bag. $100 will send one child to camp.

If you would like to help inner city children have a Summer to Remember, you can donate online, or mail cheques to:
CityKidz Regina
P.O. Box 3112
Regina, SK S4P 3G7

Healing Hands Wood Shop Rebuild Project

wood shop rebuild projectIn June, 2016, Healing Hands’ Wood Shop burned down. The Wood Shop, located in an inner-city neighbourhood in Regina, was part of a work program for youth and young adults where they built cedar strip canoes and re-purposed pallets into furniture and other creations. They also partner with other youth service organizations to support marginalized and vulnerable young people, and encourage them towards holistic  life development. Approximately half of Healing Hands’ programming was done through this shop, so this is a significant loss.

They are now in the process of the rebuild and have run into a snag. According to building codes, their new building needs a washroom. This increases the cost of the building by approximately $30,000, mostly because of where they need to trench to achieve sewer access. This is not covered by insurance, since the original building did not have a washroom.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
