Community Service


Victim Services of York Region (VSY)
Victim Services of York Region is a non-profit, charitable agency that works in partnership with York Regional Police and the O.P.P. To provide 24 emotional support and practical assistance to persons victimized by crime or tragic circumstances.
We have held fundraisers for VSY and used the money to buy tote bags and personal items to go inside for young women escaping sex trafficking situations.

Shelters
At our holiday party we collected new children’s mittens, hats, scarves and other warm outerwear to donate to various shelters. We also collected gently used or new adult winter outerwear to donate to various shelters.

BOOST
BOOST is an interdisciplinary coordination of services for child abuse victims and child abuse investigations, assessment, support and intervention for child abuse victims and their families.  We made a monetary donation.


Sistering
For 35 years Sistering has served as a multi-service, low barrier agency for at-risk, socially isolated women in Toronto who are homeless or precariously housed.  This year  donated toiletries and clothing, specifically new undergarments. We made a monetary donation.


Daily Bread Food Bank
The dedicated staff, volunteers, member agencies, and Board of Directors of the Daily Bread Food Bank work together to end hunger in the community and change the way people think of poverty.
We have volunteered here in the past.  The club has made two donations this year.

Soles4Souls
At Soles4Souls, they turn unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity, by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use - providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty.

We collect new shoes and clothing to distribute to people in need across the U.S. and around the world.

Children’s Book Bank
Since 2008 the Children’s Book Bank has provided free books and literacy support to children living in low-income neighborhoods across Toronto. It also provides additional books and literacy materials through community centers, schools and health clinics in low income neighborhoods throughout the city.  We donated gently used or new books throughout the year as well as a monetary donation.


SCAW (Sleeping Children around the World)
SCAW is a charitable organization founded in 1970 by Torontonians Margaret and Murray Dryden to provide bedkits to children in developing countries.  We donated coins at each meeting.  For each $35 CAN donation SCAW provides a child with a kit consisting of a mat or mattress, pillow, bed sheet, blanket, mosquito net (if required), clothes outfit, towel, and school supplies. These kits are created in the country where they will be distributed.



Toronto Zoo
We made a donation to support our eagle, Lady Liberty.
