Giving an item from our Wish List is a great way to make a practical impact on their lives. It is also often a great way to engage your family, friends or co-workers in a meaningful and fun group activity.
Thank you so much for your interest in supporting families with a seriously ill child.
As we follow Toronto Public Health safety protocols to protect the vulnerable population we serve, it is important that you contact us at giftsinkind@rmhctoronto.ca to confirm your item donation and to organize your donation drop-off time during our scheduled hours.
We are still following an essential visitors only policy, so we must limit the amount of people on-site at one time.
RMHC Toronto also has an Amazon Wish List. This is an easy and safe way to donate items that meet the current needs of the families we serve.
Thank you again for your generosity and support, we truly appreciate it.
