YANA hosts a winter gala, a summer biking event, a Christmas campaign and a special initiative through the schools. Each year, there are also many events led by community members in support of local families. We are incredibly grateful for the energy and dedication behind these fundraisers and for everyone who contributes and participates! Beyond raising funds, we aim to raise community awareness, engage community spirit and celebrate all of the love that surrounds YANA.
Events

YANA Christmas Crackers
Christmas crackers are lovingly handcrafted by volunteers and then sold to support YANA's services. Crafting is ongoing throughout the year and sales start mid-November.

YANA Big Love Benefit
An annual dinner and auction the last Friday in February in celebration of the philanthropy and love that surrounds YANA. Tickets on sale the 3rd Sunday in January.

YANA Week in the Schools

The Party Hub aims to give party items a second life, giving Pre-loved Party items a home in our local community. It’s the first place to look for themed items, before purchasing new on Amazon or any other online store. Party items that are one time use items that cannot be consigned can still be donated. To encourage customers to drop these party items off specifically to our store rather than Value Village, they are donating a portion of the proceeds to YANA, where the customers and The Party Hub can feel good about being able to give back in a meaningful way. This allows customers and the Party Hub purpose and intention in the cycle of all things Party.
