Event

This year, we have new ways for you to share with:

• those served by community partners that our Embrace Action ministry supports, and
• Roehampton shelter residents as they transition into their own apartments.

Love Your Neighbour 

We love our neighbours by sharing. Many of us have things in our closets that those less fortunate than us would appreciate having.

Fairlawn’s partners – Street Health, Fred Victor, Red Door Family Shelter, and others – need these items, either new or in good condition:

• clothing
• personal care items
• food
• babies’ and children’s items
• other household items

We can love our neighbours by delivering our surplus “stuff” to our partners for re-loving.

Roehampton Basket Drive

We need your help to provide 15 baskets of household essentials for people moving out of the shelter that the City set up, during COVID-19, in the former Roehampton Hotel.  Thanks to your generosity, we have already filled our first four baskets!

One of the services that the residents are getting is help finding permanent housing. Our baskets will assist Roehampton shelter residents when they’re provided with a place to live independently and can use the support to outfit their own apartments so they feel like home.

Fairlawn is working with other North Toronto churches to collect household essentials, like kitchen ware and bedding, for these “welcome home” baskets.

You can contribute by:

1. making a cash donation to Fairlawn, indicating it’s for Roehampton (gifts of more than $20 will receive a tax receipt), so we can buy items. You can buy a basket for $200, or buy part of one.
2. signing up at Roehampton Basket Drive for the items you’d like to contribute, so we know what will be donated. Hold any physical contributions until we can receive drop-offs after the current provincial COVID-19 lockdown.
3.  sharing this appeal with your friends.

If you have questions, please contact .

Thanks for sharing your love with our Roehampton neighbours!
