Operation Good Thing

Operation Good Thing (OGT) is an annual project by Youth Unlimited (YU), a Christian not-for-profit organization that reaches out to and mentors disadvantaged youth in the Greater Toronto Area. Join us in creating care packages for street youth in our community. Let’s make a difference together!

You can participate in different ways:

1. Pledge to pray, to donate a care package or individual items, and/or to give a monetary gift. Please submit your pledge ASAP, so we can register with YU. Register by leaving us a comment below or visit us at the OGT table on Sundays.
   
2. Bring in your donations by Assembly Day.
3. Come to Assembly Day (Sunday, December 12th) for fellowship and to assemble the packages!
