We would like to announce that this holiday season our York Mills facility will continue our yearly tradition of collecting non-perishable food items as well as new, unwrapped toys for children. We will be collecting donations until December 21st, 2020.
We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit our community, city, province and country very hard in numerous ways. The effects of which will be felt for years to come. Given the personal, familial, psychological, societal and economic impact of COVID-19, it’s understandable that “giving” may not be at the forefront of our minds this holiday season. But giving is exactly what we all need. With a simple act we not only prove to ourselves but simultaneously demonstrate to the world that, while bruised, we are not beaten. We still have that spark that makes us caring, kind and connected to our community. This holiday season, we ask that you give, in any small way that you can, so those that are far, far less fortunate can experience some comfort and joy.
Thank you all very much for your bravery, kindness and support.
