Christmas is a time of giving. Every parent wants to offer their children a holiday to remember, complete with special gifts to open on Christmas morning.

For families in need, YSM’s Toy Market enables them to select from a wide array of age-appropriate toys and games, to ensure they can offer their kids the special gifts they’re hoping for. Our Toy Market serves over 400 Regent Park families experiencing poverty.

With your kind support, we can continue to ensure a special Christmas for all who turn to YSM in need. We often receive much support for children ages 0-7, but less than is needed for those aged 8-13 that we support.

We invite you, your family, colleagues, faith community, and more to help us collect all the needed toys to give more than 800 children, of all ages, a special Christmas this year. 

About Yonge Street Mission:

Founded in 1896, Yonge Street Mission is a Toronto-based Christian development agency that provides wrap-around support and services to many of the 500,000 Toronto neighbours experiencing poverty, to help move them forward from merely surviving to thriving. As a social service organization specializing in poverty-related challenges, we work closely with street-involved youth, families in need, adults experiencing poverty, and entire communities impacted by chronic poverty. We are working to change lives, build communities and transform Toronto, to ultimately end chronic poverty in our city.
