My Friend's Place

It’s been a difficult year for all of us… especially so for the staff on the frontlines at My Friends Place every day, navigating the pandemic while still providing support and services to the most vulnerable in our community.

Because we haven’t been able to rally together for our typical staff appreciation, we’d like to ask you to join us in surprising them with a token of our gratitude— $50 gift cards to their favorite stores. Anything you can help with is greatly appreciated!

This year has generated a tremendous amount of grief and trauma in our communities, and the staff at MFP have been absorbing all of that. We hope these gifts will let them know that we see them making that extra effort, even though we can't be there with them in person,  and we appreciate them. 

If you would like to volunteer to write cards to the staff, please email [email redacted], with the number of cards you'd like to write. 

Donations are 100% tax deductible.
