Can anyone recommend any legitimate worthwhile charities in Toronto with emphasis on helping children that might be interested in a helping hand monetarily or someone to assist in a volunteer capacity? Helping kids would be first choice but other worthwhile causes would be helpful. Thanks.
 
I give money, easier than time it seems, to War Amps.

With so few Vets around their focus over the years has shifted to child amputees. They do good work and provide artifical limbs to kids who would otherwise not get the good stuff.

i do work for a chairty on behalf of my friend that passed away from cancer a few years back. all the proceeds go to http://www.pointe-des-pieds.com/indexen.asp
as well as for cancer research.
you should also look into volunteering at the sick kids hospital. If you have a dog they allow you to bring it in providing its tame (the humane society decides for you whether or not it is)
my cousin stayed at sick kids for a long time and i know the kids loved being visited by the animals :)
 
Big Brothers/Big Sisters
Children's Aid Society
Any women's shelter, though they may not accept male volunteers, depending on their security issues, will have plenty of children in need.
 
I'll give to any charity that isn't the United Way, Salvation Army, etc.
 
Every time I am downtown, I buy food and coffee for a couple of homeless people. Not McDonalds shit, but something like a nice deli sandwich from Shopsy's. I feel much better and more comfortable doing this than giving them money.

I'm planning on having my pup evaluated to be a pet therapy dog as soon as he's old enough. Dogs must be one year old, and he's a few months from that yet. He'd be an awesome dog for it though. I can't wait! :)

honestly it brightens the kids days so much. they get so lonely in the hospital. it's a really rewarding experience
 
Sick Kids is at the top of my list. I have had some personal experience with them. Our end result was not a good one but the organization and the people there are fantastic. They make a huge difference in many, many lives.

I donate quite a bit and volunteer for at least one fundraising event each year.
 
Sick Kids Hosp- many great ways to donate either time or money.

War Amps has a program called the CHAMP program geared towards children, plus they give you Key Tags and if you ever lose your keys they will be mailed back to you or sent by courrier free of charge to you and the finder.
 
I am weary of lots of charities solely because of their "administrative costs" which can take up as much as 80% of each dollar contributed.

I thought most officers were volunteers until i read that most have to get paid for what they do.

I donate to Sick Kids and United Way through work.

I have never visited Sick Kids but I know they do good work and well Kids shouldn't have to suffer the way I hear some are suffering.

I just need to gather the strength to visit one day where I can walk the halls without crying.
