Want to support Sanctuary?
Give a Financial Gift
Over 90% of our budget comes from individual donors and foundations—gifts from people like you are what keep Sanctuary going! Monthly gifts help us to plan and to remain a steady, consistent presence in the lives of our friends. We would also love to hear from you through Donate A Car Canada. To make a financial donation over the phone, contact Rica at 416-922-0628 ext. 225.
Gifts-in-Kind Donations
These are gifts of property other than cash (e.g., checks and credit card payments) and marketable securities. Gifts-in-Kind include donations of supplies, equipment, and brand-new merchandise. For donations of cash and marketable securities, please contact Rica.
Tax receipts for all eligible gifts will be sent at year end (charitable # 890379340 RR0001)
Clothing & Supplies Donation
From October to March, we are only accepting winter clothing, including gloves, hats, boots, brand-new socks and underwear, long sleeves, hoodies, coats, and jackets.
Bottles of water, granola bars, snacks, gift cards
Tents, sleeping bag, backpacks & duffle bag, or other survival gears
Cellphones (unlock and restored to factory settings)
Please note that we do not accept children’s clothing or housewares.
You can drop-off donations of clothing or supplies during our drop-in hours (Tuesdays 11AM-3PM or Thursdays 5PM-9PM) or by scheduling a time through our Donor Coordinator, Rica (416-922-0628 ext. 225)
Pray
Please keep the Sanctuary community in your prayers. Right now, we would be especially grateful for prayers for:
Safety, health and housing for the folks who are living in encampments around the city.
Our friends who are feeling isolated and cut-off from their community.
The continued health of our staff team.
Advocate
Call, write, or email your local representatives to tell them that you value the lives and well-being of people living in poverty in your community. If you live in Toronto, it’s always helpful to let your representatives know that you appreciate Sanctuary’s work. This helps us a lot!
Visit Us
It feels good and empowering to serve through meaningful work, and we want to prioritize offering that opportunity to people in our community whose strengths, resiliencies, and gifts are often ignored or denied. If you’re someone who gets lots of chances to serve and give back, we would love to welcome you into this community, but when you come, it will be others hosting you. Maybe one day you might find yourself wiping down a table—but you’ll be doing it alongside your friends. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with Kelliann.
