Clothing drive

Colder weather is looming, and we’re hosting a clothing drive for warm winter clothing for New Circles.

An estimated 8,500 people will go to New Circles over the next six months for winter clothing. You can help “Keep Toronto Warm” by donating gently-used coats, jackets, snow pants, snowsuits, winter accessories, or any good quality, seasonally appropriate clothing.

New Circles helps newcomers, refugees and others living on a low income meet their basic clothing needs.
