Point Edward, ON – January 15, 2026

St. Clair Child & Youth Services is proud to recognize Suncor for their generous $25,000 donation, which helped bring meaningful support to nearly 200 local families during the holiday season. Through this contribution a total of 400 gift cards valued at $50 each were distributed to help families cover essential needs at a time when support matters most.

“We are incredibly grateful to Suncor for their generous support of our families during the holiday season,” said Craig McKenzie, Executive Director, St. Clair Child & Youth Services. “This donation allowed us to reach more families than ever before and provide meaningful support at a time when many are facing increased financial pressures. Partnerships like this make a real difference in the lives of children and youth in our community.”

Each year leading up to the holidays, St. Clair Child & Youth Services seeks the support of generous community partners to provide a hand to families who may be experiencing financial strain. This year, Suncor stepped up in an extraordinary way, allowing the organization to support more families than ever before and increase the value of each gift card. In previous years, families received $25 gift cards; with Suncor’s support, that amount was doubled to $50, helping families better meet their needs during a challenging economic climate.

“Supporting organizations that lift up children, youth and families is central to how we help build strong communities,” says Jenn Kim, Suncor’s Director of Community Investment. “St. Clair Child & Youth Services is a vital source of support in Lambton County, and we’re proud to help extend that care to even more families. Partnerships like this show the meaningful impact local support can have.”

With rising costs and ongoing financial pressures, the need for support continues to grow. The holidays can be especially difficult for families for many reasons, and this program aims to ease some of the financial stress so families can focus on connection, stability, and well-being.

This holiday gift card program is 100% donor funded and would not be possible without the generosity of community partners. St. Clair Child & Youth Services extends sincere thanks to Suncor for their commitment to children, youth, and families in our community, and for supporting mental wellness during a season when compassion and care are needed most.
