Thank you so much for your donations to the Red Door Gift Drive this year. Thanks to your generosity, we dropped off a car-full of children’s toys and baby items and $1,350 worth of gift cards at the shelter! The staff was delighted to see how successful the Fairlawn drive continues to be, and were so appreciative of the impact Fairlawn will have on children and families at Red Door this Christmas.
We collected donations of new, unwrapped toys for ages 6-12, new winter coats, non-perishable food or grocery gift cards, and full-size toiletries.
Cash donations may be made by e-transfer to etransfer@fairlawnavenueunited.ca, with the memo line noted as “Red Door”.

- The work that Red Door does is aligned with our EA vision to provide symptomatic relief and support to those whose lives are precarious.
- Red Door provides shelter from domestic violence for women who have been abused and need somewhere to protect their family.
- This charity addresses poverty, and provides support for mental health and issues of domestic violence.
