Focusing on Youth Well-being
Little Steps, Big Impact 🧘🏼🍎
Our Story 📃
Growing Spoons is a youth-led non-profit focused on the health and well-being of youth. Through our program, we raise funds to support families facing food insecurity, youth in homeless shelters, and provide resources to youth in hospitals. We help by supplying groceries and nutritious food to families in need, ensuring they have access to healthy meals. We also build care packages for youth in shelters and bring comfort and joy to hospitalized youth through toys, handmade cards, and engaging activities that brighten their days and support their emotional well-being.
Our mission is to address both the immediate needs of families and the holistic care of youth in various challenging situations.
Here’s our story.
Hello, my name is Vivian Tran, and I am currently in Grade 11, beginning my Capstone Project—a project driven by passion. With my goal of becoming a pediatrician, I am deeply committed to supporting youth in all kinds of situations. Growing Spoons is a volunteer-base organization dedicated to uplifting youth and families through both practical support and meaningful engagement.
I recognize that youth and families face a wide range of challenges, and sometimes their needs go beyond what’s visible. That’s why Growing Spoons takes a well-rounded approach—whether it’s providing essentials, offering creative and educational programs, or simply bringing joy to someone’s day. We raise funds to support youth and families experiencing hardship and create opportunities for learning, connection, and care.
Our work is rooted in compassion and community. Through Growing Spoons, we aim to empower youth and families with the tools, support, and kindness they deserve to thrive.
