Kingsway College School Reason for the Season
Our 20th season With the George Hull Centre, Etobicoke

Give a gift. Change a life.

This holiday season, local families facing poverty, housing instability and food insecurity are counting on our KCS community. One gift card can put food on the table, keep a family warm, and let a parent choose a gift for their child.

Why gift cards

A simple card. A lifeline for a family.

It may not look exciting under a tree, but a gift card gives families what they need most this winter, and the dignity of choosing it themselves.

Food on the table

Grocery cards ease the pressure of rising food costs through the holidays and into the new year.

Warm, and on the move

Winter clothing, transit and personal care items, the everyday essentials that are hardest to stretch for.

The joy of choosing

Parents get to pick and give their child a gift themselves. That moment is the true heart of the season.

“The gift lies in the act of giving.”
How to give
