Hyundai Canada donates car to 360Kids

Who knew one car could provide such freedom and support?

After a tumultuous year, filled with unstable living conditions and difficulty accessing resources throughout the pandemic, 360Kids will be able to provide more support and mobility to its members with a new vehicle: a 2021 Sante Fe donated by Hyundai Canada. 

The new vehicle will save 360Kids time and money, reducing the need to rent vehicles, and it will improve access to essential resources -- one less barrier to supporting youth in their community. 

Developed to address the needs of at-risk youth, 360Kids provides a wide range of supports and now serves over 3,500 youth, ages 13-26, each year from every municipality in York Region. 360Kids serves the community through housing, employment, education and various health and wellness programs. 

With Ontario imposing a stay-at-home order and declaring a third state of emergency, community support like this is needed now more than ever. The vehicle will be used to serve youth and their families by:

o allowing 360Kids staff to drop off supplies such as non-perishable food items and hygiene products;

o picking up and delivering donations (including personal protective equipment);

o transporting youth to essential appointments.

This will be the second vehicle donation made by Hyundai Canada, who also made a donation in 2020 at the onset of the pandemic.
