Thank you so much for your interest in donating a gift to RMHC Toronto.
This holiday season, we are excited to be accepting a variety of donations based on age groups for our families.
A Holiday Wish List for our families can be found below.
RMHC Toronto continues to follow all safety protocols to protect the vulnerable population that we serve.
We are still following an essential visitor only policy and must limit the number of people on-site at one time.
Everyone looking to drop off their items at our House in Toronto must confirm your item donation and schedule a drop-off time during scheduled hours.
Contact us at giftsinkind@rmhctoronto.ca to book your visit.
