The generosity of Toronto's East End communities has always been a special part of the holiday season. This year, the need for donations is greater than ever as many families are facing economic hardship.
We will be actively supporting Community Centre 55 as they undertake their 41st Annual Share a Christmas program, delivering gift cards and toys to families from all backgrounds.
Help Community Centre 55 make Christmas easier for families, this season, by donating new toys or grocery gift cards*. We’ll be accepting donations on behalf of Community Center 55 at 2234 Queen Street East during The Christmas Market at 2234 Queen Street East.
