Community Donations

Individuals throughout the GTA help by donating thousands of items as well as their time. Here's how you can help...


Donate product
Collect items from friends, family and coworkers!  Each year we look for new/unopened toiletries, cosmetics, giftware, bath & beauty products, or any other non-perishables appropriate for a gift basket.

Donate supplies
Cellophane, clear tape, curling ribbon, florist-style bows, baskets and basket stuffing are always in need and gladly received.
Redeem Air Miles
Air Miles can be redeemed for gift cards and donated back to the Annual Gift Basket Drive. 175 Air Miles can be converted into a $20 gift card for Metro stores which help us purchase lunches, snacks and beverages for our many volunteers.
Provide lunches and snacks for our volunteers
Our volunteers work long hours from early morning until late in the evening, so we make sure there’s enough food on hand for everyone. If you are able to offer gift vouchers for local establishments or supply meals and snacks, please
contact us.

If you know of any companies that would be interested in donating products, click here for a letter of request.
 
We also have a printable version of our letter-size poster so feel free to place it in store fronts, lunch rooms, etc. to let the public know of what and where they can donate items.
