What We Do

Supporting children and youth in care and strengthening family stability

Last year, you helped us support more than 1,500 requests for support from children, youth and families involved with the Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto (CCAS) facing urgent and complex challenges. Our programs help people in situations where government funding typically doesn’t reach. We provide essentials for children and youth in CCAS care while helping loving families access support to prevent a child welfare crisis and create stability at home. Together with our community of donors and service partners, we fundraise and grant funds for programs that cover funding gaps and provide financial assistance for today’s needs, better outcomes, and a brighter tomorrow.
