"Hats Off to Hunger" - Respirology Program Council Fundraiser

We're raising funds for Respirology patients at St. Michael's Hospital!

Support the Respirology Community this Holiday Season 

Help Us Bring Warmth, Comfort & Care to Those Who Need It Most

This holiday season, the Respirology Program is stepping up to support our community through a combined Winter Clothing & Food Drive and a Fundraising Campaign (until Feb 27, 2026). We invite patients, families, staff, and friends to join us in helping our most vulnerable neighbours.

Whether you contribute in-person during your clinic visit or choose to donate online, every act of generosity makes a meaningful impact.

How Your Donation Helps

Your support will directly benefit:

• Daily Bread Food Bank – Providing essential food support across Toronto
• People With AIDS (PWA) Foundation Food Bank – Serving individuals living with HIV/AIDS
• Churches on the Hill Food Bank – Supporting families and individuals in need
• St. Michael’s Hospital Rotary Centre – Offering food, clothing, and emergency supports for people experiencing homelessness or living in poverty

These organizations provide critical services—especially during the winter months. Your donation ensures individuals and families can access nutritious food, warm clothing, and essential resources.

Ways You Can Give

1. Donate In-Person at Your Appointment

Bring any of the following to your next clinic visit:

• Non-perishable food items
• New or *gently used warm ADULT clothing, winter garments & toiletries (*NB new undergarments only)

2. Make a Financial Donation

Your monetary contribution allows our partners to respond quickly and purchase the items most urgently needed.

Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 and above.

Why Your Support Matters

Winter is a challenging season for many in our community. By donating, you are:

• Providing warmth and dignity
• Helping ensure food security
• Supporting local agencies that lift people up every single day
• Strengthening the respirology community’s impact beyond the hospital walls
