Toronto Miracle depends on the collective action of individuals coming together in support of their community. In addition to individual households donating food items, we encourage school groups, condo buildings, local businesses and community organizations to participate by running a group food drive. They are a wonderful way to engage your local community while participating in a city-wide effort.
Resources to support your food drives are available here.
Toronto Miracle is a great event for schools to participate in. Place a donation box in every classroom or challenge the whole school to fill the gym – there are lots of possibilities.
