When you donate an item it gets shipped directly to our door!
There are over 8,000 people in Toronto without a safe stable place to live. Hundreds live “rough” in ravines, stairwells or on the street. Hundreds more suffer with mental health and addictions issues. This forgotten slice of our population, people who have been street-involved for several years and who have nowhere else to go, is where Homes First comes in. We provide Housing First. We were the first and remain one of the largest providers of homes for people with the fewest options in Toronto.
Homes First has been providing supportive housing and shelter for over 35 years to all populations, with a focus on the chronically homeless, people with complex mental health and addictions issues, and seniors. We encourage homeless people to identify their own housing needs and necessary support services. We work with others to provide the supports people need to maintain their housing and rebuild their lives. We accept referrals from and draw on the knowledge and experience of other community service organizations to support our residents.
Homes First currently operates 10 shelters and 14 housing sites, providing a home and support to more than 1400 seniors, families, and single adults. Our shelters and housing programs are located throughout Toronto.
This campaign is designed to provide charities across Canada with the items they need to help them create impact for their causes and their communities. All product prices include shipping and applicable taxes. Once a donation is made for a specific item the Unity Values Foundation will work with Kits for a Cause and their procurement partners to ship the item directly to charity noted above. Tax receipts will be provided by the Unity Values Foundation.
Payments and Receipts are processed by the Unity Values Foundation. The Unity Values Foundation does not take a percentage of the donation, all funds donated are used for procurement of the donated item. Cash donations will be subject to a standard 2.9% credit card processing fee by the credit card processor.
