Holiday Giving in Toronto

The holiday season is a time to come together and support the people, places and programs that make Toronto shine. Residents, businesses and community organizations can give back in ways that make a meaningful difference. There are opportunities for everyone to give to the causes that matter most to themshowing care for people experiencing homelessness, brightening a child’s holiday with a new toy, supporting animal shelters, investing in arts and literature or protecting Toronto’s natural spaces and parks. For more details on how to give, go to toronto.ca/HolidayGiving 

The City of Toronto is connecting donors to a wide range of in-kind and financial donation opportunities that help people, animals, the arts and the environment. Whether you are supporting those who are experiencing homelessness or planting cherry trees for future generations to enjoy, your donation will make a significant impact. A full list is available at toronto.ca/HolidayGiving
