Your support, and the brightness it brings to the lives of those we serve are needed more than ever during the holiday season. For those living in poverty, escaping violence or experiencing trauma and instability, the holidays can be the loneliest and most insecure time of the year.

Your donation to YWCA Toronto’s Adopt-A-Family Fund will help us leverage discounted bulk pricing so we can purchase and distribute gift cards to help our program participant meet their needs - including food, gifts, and warm winter clothing.

Your generous support of Adopt-A-Family Fund allows those we serve to not only survive the holidays but to enjoy the holidays and create special memories for themselves and their family.
 

“Thanks to Adopt-A-Family, I was able to buy the things I needed to make a wonderful Christmas Day breakfast and dinner for my kids. I am so thankful and know that I will pay it forward some day.”
— Andrea

“I can’t imagine what the holidays would have been like without your generous donation. Thank you for making it a special time for me and my family.”
— The Johnston Family
