Every year our Tree of Giving campaign helps families enjoy the holiday season, with 2026 marking our 29^th year. Together our community has donated hundreds of toys and gift cards to deserving children. Now, more than ever we urge you to step in and help by providing a gift this year. No child should have to go without the joy of a surprise toy or gift over the holidays.

The community can drop off a new, unwrapped gift or gift card in support of Community Care St. Catharines and Thorold, at City facilities until December 13. Donation bins will once again be set up at City facilities to accept donations of new, unwrapped toys or gift cards (which are preferred as they are more inclusive).

Every donation helps!

Help give children and youth a holiday filled with warmth, friendship and memories.

A traditional holiday celebration is about sharing a meal, laughing with friends and feeling a sense of belonging. Through BGC Niagara’s annual Holiday Toy Drive, you can help create that experience for children and youth across Niagara.

Your generosity brings our Children’s Holiday Celebration to life. Children will gather at each of our three main BGC Clubs for a warm, cooked turkey dinner, enjoy fun with friends and choose a gift to take home. They’ll leave with a full belly, a special gift and happy memories to carry with them.

Every donation helps make this celebration possible.

Experience the joy of Christmas with your family and friends by heading to the Grimsby Museum during our event dates to see dozens of decorated seasonal trees, wreaths and prizes. If you’d like to win the displayed items to take home in early-December, you can purchase raffle tickets or bid on our online auction. 

As always admission and entrance to our magical event is FREE. Don’t forget to visit the Museum’s own gift shop while you’re there. 

All the proceeds from the 2025 event go to 10 local registered charities.
