Thank you for your interest in sponsoring a family!

Together we can make the holidays memorable for a child, youth, or family in need.
When sponsoring a family, you will receive a profile and wishlist. Then you do the shopping yourself (gifts must be new) and drop the unwrapped gifts off to us at the Children’s Aid Foundation for distribution! |
A typical profile and wishlist will look like this:

This holiday season...
• $250 will provide a holiday meal and gifts for a family of four
• $100 will provide a holiday meal for a family
• $50 will purchase a gift for a youth on their own this holiday season
Food Vouchers: Often, it is our experience that families who benefit from this program enjoy the opportunity to shop and select items for their own holiday meal, particularly as most of them usually rely on the services of their local food bank. Through the Children’s Aid Foundation’s established relationship with a major food retailer, we are able receive 25% more for every dollar you donate. This means that a $100 donation will translate to a food voucher worth $125! You may purchase a food voucher when you drop off your gifts at the Foundation or make a donation to the Surrogate Santa program online.
To request a youth and/or family to sponsor, please email
the Surrogate Santa Coordinator at surrogatesanta@cafdn.org
or fill in the request form below. To help us better match you, please also mention any preferences regarding family size and composition.
Drop off location: Children's Aid Foundation 25 Spadina Rd,
Toronto, ON, M5R 2S9
Please note: Gifts must be dropped off no later than Friday, December 18th at 6pm. After this time we will gladly accept cash donations only.
