Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund Spreading Holiday Cheer to Immigrant Families
It’s that time of the year again, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to spread the holiday cheer and partner again with Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund—an initiative that started in 1906, aiming to provide gift boxes for children from financially vulnerable families across the Greater Toronto Area. These gifts bring joy, comfort, and a sense of celebration to families during one of the most meaningful times of the year.
