50 gift bags containing gift cards for groceries and personal hygiene items were distributed throughout the holiday season by The AOK Project to youth with mental health challenges in Vancouver. 

"I am writing to say how grateful we are to you and the others at AOK for involving us in this wonderful program. Too often insufficient finances create major barriers for countless vulnerable youth. To receive an unexpected gift such as this during the pandemic, and especially at this time of holiday celebration, will no doubt be a significant and pragmatic boost to young people dealing with mental health challenges and financial hardships."
