The Sarnia-Lambton Children’s Aid Society (CAS) is increasing healthy activities for youth aged 15-21 years old who are in care or kinship care in Lambton County.

Noelle’s ‘roomies’ & friends alike participated in the Ottawa 5k Santa Shuffle yesterday. Team member Julia Forbes told us “the day was full of smiles, laughter and many joyful footsteps on the pavement”. Participants are growing in numbers since the yearly tradition started in 2012. Julia said she “was super proud of the teams efforts again, Noelle would have loved every moment of today”. The stocking was significantly stocked with more than their goal of $500 and 100% of proceeds will be donated...
Noelle’s Gift recently made a donation to the Chatham-Kent Student Nutrition Program. Read about here 🙂 Growing bodies need breakfast to perform their best and of course snacks and lunches too.

Noelle’s Gift supports the Chatham-Kent School Student Nutrition Program in order for kids to be ready to learn and grow up great.
This past Saturday Noelle’s Gift hosted their 1st annual Winter Family Fun Day. The event was hosted at SCITS high school; the cafeteria was full of ‘Smash Hits’ and bright smiles. When the children were done decorating their cookies or creating a snowman out of marshmallows you could hear a pin drop during the premiere showing of Frozen on Noelle’s Gift jumbotron.
