Support Your Community

Camp is the great equalizer. At the Jack and Pat Kay Centre Camp, it is our goal to ensure that every camper has the opportunity to experience camp regardless of their family’s financial situation. For many of these children, Centre Camp is their sole source of connection to Jewish life. Subsidies range from $500 to $1,800 depending on the number of sessions. All gifts are gratefully appreciated.

Help Israelis who have fled the war find strength and healing.

Hundreds of families living in Israel have come to Toronto to take refuge. Many Israeli women and children have fled to our community to escape the dangers of war that have encircled their lives.

Your donation will be used to deliver critically needed programs during this challenging time. Programs include community healing gatherings, art therapy, lectures, workshops, and solidarity cultural events.

Enable vulnerable children to participate in JCC programming and activities. The Children’s Fund ensures that families requiring financial assistance are given access to JCC programming for their children, in a respectful and confidential manner. It provides subsidies and scholarships for camps, sports programs, supplementary Hebrew school, Inclusion Services, and more.

This critical funding allows the JCC to provide meaningful and impactful programs that engage vulnerable children at an important stage in their life, enabling them to learn, grow, and play in our Jewish Community Centers.

Over 1,000 people this year will need help to belong to our vibrant JCC community. Many of these individuals are seniors, newcomers and refugees, people who have lost their jobs, recently suffered a tragedy, or may be recovering from illness and can’t work. The JCC is the perfect place for them to come to heal, laugh, grow, and feel like they belong.

For a minimum donation of $18 a month or $216 a year, you can become a Mitzvah Maker and help ensure members of our community who are experiencing financial hardship are able to participate in health and wellness, education, recreation, and arts and cultural activities at the JCC.

“I spend most of my day at the JCC. I wouldn’t survive without it. This has been my therapy. I have made incredible friends who have become an important part of my life. At the JCC, I have learned about people, and it has helped shape who I have become.”

Do a mitzvah and help provide a JCC subsidy to a community member who is struggling financially.

You understand that when children, teens and young adults with special needs engage in physical, social, and life-skills development activities, they live happier, healthier, and fuller lives.

With your support, the JCC will continue to be an essential resource providing adapted, safe programs including fitness, social groups, sports, aquatics, day camp and life and employment skills programming. Under the guidance of specialized professional staff, vulnerable individuals with different abilities will thrive.

You understand the value of being physically active, intellectually engaged and embraced by friendship.

Donations support customized programs for aging adults and those with physical mobility and health challenges. We can achieve health, vibrance and wellbeing, as we go through life together.

For many seniors, JCC programs are an invaluable lifeline, their primary source of connection and friendship. Participants learn new skills, are mentally stimulated and became physically stronger, preventing depression and isolation.

The JCC is our aging community’s second home and an integral part of their daily routine. Members come here to spend the day with their friends, sharing a meal, at the gym, in a lecture, in the swimming pool or participating in a communal morning breakfast.

Over the course of history, arts and culture programs have fueled our souls. They connect thoughts, ideas, and values, strengthening our Jewish community and linking generations.

Help transform our JCC into a world class center for arts and culture. Your donation is an investment in best-in-class artists, performers, and speakers.

You love the JCC and want your children and grandchildren to experience the gift of our community.
