Ways to Donate

When you give to Red Door Family Shelter, you help families find their way to a better life — moms who have bravely fled abuse to keep their kids safe, refugees seeking sanctuary from war and violence, and families in crisis with nowhere else to go. Every donation has a meaningful impact on the families who turn to us. Whatever and whenever you give, you’re helping us provide safety and comfort as they build a brighter future.
With your help, Red Door — Toronto’s largest family shelter — can provide safe housing and support for families facing homelessness. We have been a vital part of the community since 1982, thanks in large part to the incredible donors, funders, and supporters who have rallied around us and the families who need us. There are so many ways you can help us provide a refuge for families, from giving your time and enthusiasm, to providing critical fundraising support. Together we can open doors to a brighter future.

One Time Donation

A one-time donation doesn’t mean a one-time impact. We’ll use your contribution to help families plant the seeds needed to grow a stable life when they move beyond our temporary housing. Your donation starts the process of positive change and ripple effect on so many areas of their life.

Monthly Giving

When you donate on a regular basis, you’re supporting families and helping us plan our future projects, initiatives and approaches. This funding stability is invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful to those who provide ongoing support.

Tribute Giving

Making a tribute gift is a wonderful way to say thank you to someone who has made a difference in your life, or to honour the memory of someone who has passed away. Your personal tribute will have an enduring impact for families who need a helping hand.

Legacy Giving

You could make a lasting impact on the work we do at Red Door Family Shelter by including us in your estate planning. Through legacy giving, you’ll continue to support future generations of women, children and families in our community to build a happy and sustainable life.

There are several options when it comes to legacy giving, so we recommend talking to a financial advisor about what’s best for you.
