There are many local charitable organizations ramping up to help others in one of the greatest times of need our City will ever see. As a charitable organization itself, the APA does not direct fundraising dollars to other charitable organizations. However, to do our part, we are highlighting a few of the organizations that are in particular need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Toronto Foundation for Student Success
On a normal day 200,293 students across Toronto receive nutritious breakfasts through their School-based Nutrition Programs. Schools are closed and these programs are not operating. To help fill this gap, TFSS has been working with Toronto-based school boards and volunteers from KPMG to get food cards to the families of children in need. Each child will receive a $50 food card, which is the cost of breakfast for 30 days. More information and how to donate can be found here.
North York General Hospital
To tackle COVID-19, hospitals require surgical masks. N95 masks and face shields. North York General Hospital is appealing to industry, dentists, veterinarians, and other health care professionals to donate unopened and unexpired PPE.
