“If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest; if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright.”
Every child deserves comfort during difficult times. 💙 In partnership with the Children`s Aid Foundation of Canada and the Ted & Loretta Rogers Foundation, the NB Youth in Care Network provides Comfort Kits to children entering care in New Brunswick.
Each personalized backpack is filled with essentials like food, gift cards, books, toys, and a stuffed animal—small but meaningful items to bring a sense of security. Every year, we distribute over 65 kits across the province, ensuring children know they are not alone.
