Gift box contents are age-appropriate, not gender-specific, and contain a hat, mittens, socks, hoodie, book, small toy, cookies, toothbrush, and toothpaste. The box is in a seasonally wrapped box and larger than a shoebox. Only one box per child.

  1. The Santa Claus Fund is not a religious charity. The gift is to help financially struggling families during the holidays. The Fund does not solicit clients later and does not ask for anything in return, etc.
  2. Delivery will be made ANYTIME, likely starting as early as November 21 with final delivery attempts on December 19. Exact dates cannot be provided and pick-ups are not possible.
  3. Most delivery volunteers will either leave the client a note or phone message as to an approximate time for delivery. If a delivery attempt has been made and the client was not at home, they may expect a note stating when the next delivery attempt will be made. Otherwise, clients should understand that the deliveries will be made in December by volunteers and may include Scouts Canada, service groups, local church members, individual adults, or teens who volunteer for this great cause.
  4. The home delivery program is SAFE. The Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund has been operating the program in this manner for more than 110 years.
