Donations Program

Posted by irma on November 25th, 2009

The Children’s Aid Society of Toronto is responsible for the protection and support of abused and neglected children, marginalized youth, and struggling families. Annually, we serve approximately 30,000 children and youth (age 0 – 21 years) living in the community, alternative care, or in independent living situations. Every year a high percentage of these children, youth and families rely on the donations that come through our agency’s donations program. These families come from a variety of cultural, racial, ethnic, and socio economic backgrounds, and their needs are as diverse as them. All donations go directly to the children, youth and families we serve, as there are no hidden administration costs. 

Your donations support such things as: family emergencies/crisis; celebrations (birthdays, graduations, cultural holidays); moves to independent living; encouraging successes; literacy; as well as personal growth and development. Donations of new items are gratefully accepted all year round.
