The holiday season can be a difficult time for young people in foster care, shelters, and transitional housing. That’s why Community Youth Services (CYS) is once again launching its annual Winter Wonders initiative, bringing joy, warmth, and connection to youth in the South Puget Sound region.

From November 1 to December 15, 2024, CYS invites individuals, families, and workplaces to make a real difference by participating in our Holiday Gift Giving Program and Warm Clothing Drive. Together, we can ensure that youth facing challenges feel valued and supported this holiday season.
