Join us in making a difference in the lives of children, youth, and families across the Nipissing and Parry Sound district. Your participation in The Joy Project helps ensure that every child and family we support experiences the joy and comfort of the holiday season.
You Can Gift It Forward By:
Sponsoring a Child, Youth or Family in Need
Donors are matched with a child, youth, or family and receive details about their holiday wishes, clothing and shoe sizes, and household needs.
Sponsors may choose the demographics of whom they wish to support, and charitable tax receipts are available for all purchases (just keep your receipts).
To be matched, please email santa@parnipcas.org.
Our greatest need:
Large families are often the most difficult to match. These sponsorships are ideal for corporate groups, teams, or families looking to contribute together. Large families can include a single parent with three children or a two-parent household with six.
