Tree of Giving

Every year our Tree of Giving campaign helps families enjoy the holiday season, with 2026 marking our 29^th year. Together our community has donated hundreds of toys and gift cards to deserving children. Now, more than ever we urge you to step in and help by providing a gift this year. No child should have to go without the joy of a surprise toy or gift over the holidays.

The community can drop off a new, unwrapped gift or gift card in support of Community Care St. Catharines and Thorold, at City facilities during the holiday season. Donation bins will once again be set up at City facilities to accept donations of new, unwrapped toys or gift cards (which are preferred as they are more inclusive).

Every donation helps!
