Thank you for your help in sponsoring 1,140 families in 2023
The 2024 program will open in September. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter for all the updates.
Gift Drive
Host a gift drive and give back to families in need.
If sponsoring a full family wishlist is too much, consider hosting a gift drive. Items collected through gift drives will be distributed to deserving families in your community.
How it Works...
- Determine the type of Gift Drive you hope to host.
- We need items for groups that are often forgotten about (babies, tweens & teens, moms and dads)
- Register online.
- Once registered, an HH elf will be in touch to confirm the details.
- You are now ready to organize your Gift Drive.
- Set-up a location where the gifts will be dropped off
- Set-up a start and finish date
- Let everyone know about the drive and how they can participate
- Once all the items are collected, you will drop the gifts off at our GTA or Hamilton location.
- That's it! The gifts will be distributed to families in need and delivered before Christmas.

It's fun to collect toys, but we usually have too many. Why not consider hosting a Gift Drive for an age group that is often neglected, like a Baby, Tween or Mom & Dad Drive.
Poverty relief items in high demand are blankets, hats & mitts, household items, winter boots and snow suits (see the full list for ideas)
Our Holiday Helpers elf can help you decide on an age group and provide a list of the most needed items.
Our drop-off location is will be announced by early November, however we can confirm that we will have 2 locations - the west-end of the GTA and Hamilton. The deadline is late November/early December. Our Holiday Helpers elf will confirm the deadline.
NO. We ONLY accept new items. We will not accept used items, even it they are only lightly used.
