FAQ About Your Donations & Events
If you would like to donate any non-food related items from our program wish lists, please email rd@360kids.ca or call (416) 948-2186 to make arrangements for donations to be dropped off and to obtain hours of operation. Unfortunately donations of used items are not eligible for tax receipts; however, we gladly provide charitable tax receipts for donations of new items with a receipt of purchase.
Or please give a gift to our youth using our Gifts That Matter Catalogue.
Arranging A Donation Drop Off
New Covid Process in 2022: Food drives and in-kind donations MUST be pre-arranged for drop off using our online weekly scheduling system for our Home Base in Richmond Hill. All other drop off logistics must be coordinated by emailing HomeBaseRH@360kids.ca. On the day of your drop off, you can contact (416)948-2186 to connect with our Richmond Hill Home Base team.

How You Can Help
Get Involved360°kids works with individuals, corporate, school and community groups to provide both financial and in-kind donations to help support our work to assist at-risk and homeless youth.
In-kind donations from the community such as non-perishable food, clothing and hygiene items help keep our costs down so that more of your donation dollars can go towards direct programming, equipment needs and support to the youth.
Funds raised by 360°kids are invested back into our organization in improving and expanding the supports offered to vulnerable youth so that they can become stable, well-adjusted adults who contribute to the community.
