At Hamilton CAS, we are committed to equitable outcomes for the children, youth, and families we serve. We serve families of diverse faiths and traditions. One of the things we share is gratitude and this is the basis of our Grateful Hearts program. This program reflects the diversity of our community, and has been made available to support all families, no matter how they celebrate.
Funds raised will be used to purchase gift cards. These gift cards are given to referred families, empowering them to make their own purchases based on their own needs. Possible purchases include: groceries, children’s gifts/toys, treats, games, and more.
This program accepts donations all year round and provides support to families during holidays like Christmas, Ramadan and Eid.

“The Grateful Hearts program helped out a lot. It helped us get groceries. During the holiday season, money is always tight, and this helped me and my family. Receiving gift cards made me feel better than someone else buying stuff for me. It allowed me to buy gifts for my own family.”
