Partnership and Sponsorship Opportunities for Rock Resources Program

We are currently at our capacity to support youth through our Rock Resources Program.

We can impact more youth with your support.


Since 1985, Living Rock Ministries has been a place of belonging for youth aged 13-25 in our community, providing essential support and a supportive environment to work towards their personal development goals.

Last year alone, we responded to over 22,000 visits from youth facing homelessness, substance misuse, and mental health concerns.


Proven Impact: In the past year, our Rock Resources Program supported 136 youth, helping them achieve personal milestones, build confidence, and break the cycle of poverty.

Today's youth are confronted with challenging obstacles such as unstable housing and limited job opportunities. Many are NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training), struggling to find their footing in society.


The Rock Resources Program provides a holistic approach to support and training, guiding youth towards self-sufficiency and success. By sponsoring a youth, you provide:

  • -Hands-on Work and Learn Experiences: Practical skills development through meaningful work experiences.
  • - 1-on-1 Coaching and Goal Setting: Personalized support to set and achieve SMART goals.
  • -Pathways to Employment: Preparation for entry-level jobs and beyond.
  • How You Can Help by Sponsoring a Youth:
  • -Monthly Sponsorship: $275 provides one month of support including work experiences and coaching.
  • - Yearly Sponsorship: $3,300 sponsors a youth for an entire year, offering ongoing opportunities for growth and development while supporting basic such as groceries, transportation and clothing.
  • If you would like to empower youth by offering a donation in any amount, please visit https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/9518 and put Rock Resources in the memo.


PARTNERSHIP AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR MEAL PROGRAMS & FOOD BANK

We are witnessing unprecedented demand at our Food Bank and Meal Programs.


We are now serving the highest number of youth ever through Stacey's Place Food Bank, highlighting the critical need for our services. We have once more extended our meal programs to run every day of the week, ensuring that no young person in Hamilton experiences hunger.


Beyond providing nourishment, our Breakfast, Dinner, and Weekend Programs serve as vital points of engagement. Here, youth find more than just a great meal; they discover support, connection, and social inclusion through engaging recreational activities. These programs are hubs where young people access essential services like housing assistance, laundry facilities, showers, clothing, groceries, and computers.


Together, we are not only feeding hungry stomachs but also fostering a community where every youth feels valued and supported.


Join us in our mission to provide not just meals, but opportunities for growth and empowerment. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our youth.
