Special Events

One of the best parts about being a local Charity is that we have the ability to make a real connection to our community. As a result we have the pleasure of not only getting to hold special events, but also take part in special events within our community. 


Sometimes these special events are fundraisers we put on to ensure that we are able to continue to service the youth of Georgina. Other times our special events are taking part in local events within the community; everything from Georgina Comic Con to Painted Perch, to One Car Show.

Experience Boxes - Monday, April 26, 2021

As schools remained closed after the winter break, March Break was moved to April, with no chance of us having a day camp, and schools once again staying closed, we came up with an activity box to keep our participants and anyone else who wanted to have fun things to do - the Experience Box.
 
Full of crafts, science experiments, active games and an activity book, depending on which box you received, has been keeping young ones active for hours.  We saw many happy smiles when we delivered them.
 
These boxes were quickly sold out at the prize of $15-20 each, and enjoyed by all. 
 
Please keep an eye on our social media for our next offer.
 
We thank everyone who participated!  

Fun and Food Bag Program - Monday, July 20, 2020

During the spring of 2020 we started our first ever Fun and Food Bag program. This was one of the first major changes that Jericho did during the Global Pandemic of COVID 19. We looked at the community we normally served through our afterschool programs and we needed to find a new way to serve and connect. This is how the Fun and Food Bags were developed. 


The idea was fairly simple: provide our community with some food staples and child friendly activities to keep families connected through a restricted and scary time. We had the pleasure of partnering with Canada Helps to make this project happen. For the first few weeks, every dollar our community donated, Canada Helps matched. As a result we were able to do much more than we expected. 


Due to the generosity of our local partners and Canada Helps we were able to have our program last for ten weeks. We fed twenty three families every two weeks and provided activities for more than forty children within Georgina. We know that these food bags were not the perfect solution to families struggling due to COVID-19, however they were a small part in adding relief in a difficult time. 


This program was incredibly successful and rewarding for us to be able to put together. Fun and Food bags did more than provide activities to Georgina Youth, it connected us. It highlighted both the strength and generosity of our small rural community. So this is our Thank you, thank you Georgina for standing together while we had to stay physically distant.
