About Our Program
Christmas For Homeless Program Details
Toronto Cares it's proud to present our newest Holiday Program, 'Christmas For Homeless'!
As our trial run, we've chosen to support residents from Dufferin Grove Park.
HOW IT WORKS:
- The unhoused will make a "Christmas wish..." by writing down the item(s) they would like to receive, and getting an assigned gift number.
- We will create a list on this website, and an Amazon wishlist, of the corresponding items.
- Sponsors will register to join our program, to ensure no unhoused person is left behind!!!
- Then these sponsors will select or be assigned, a specific client number (or more than one) to provide gifts for, depending on your preferences.
- Sponsors will shop for, or donate to purchase, the specific gift items, between a $20-90 value per person.
- When possible, items are to be wrapped before drop-off, and tagged with the appropriate gift number.
- Before Christmas, Toronto Cares will distribute these gifts to the unhoused person who requested them.
