RICHMOND HILL – Richmond Hill residents and businesses can help make someone’s season a little brighter by donating to the City’s Holiday Donation Drive.

This year, we are accepting donations at one location by curbside drop-off only, with COVID-19 health and safety precautions in place. When dropping off donations, please wear a mask and maintain a distance of 6 feet from any staff member or resident you may encounter.

Date: December 1 – 15, 2020
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Location: Operations Centre, 1200 Elgin Mills Road East

We are accepting donations of non-perishable food items, gift cards and new toys (no stuffed animals, please), books, gift cards, toiletries and new clothing for children and especially teens.

All food donations will be forwarded to the Richmond Hill Community Food Bank, a local non-profit organization assisting those in need in the Richmond Hill community. This year, gift cards, toys, toiletries and clothing will be distributed to Yellow Brick House, York Hills Centre for Children, Youth and Families and the Richmond Hill Salvation Army.
