West End Welcome Sponsorship Group
April 1, 2017
We are a group of 14 West End Torontonians working together to bring a Syrian family of five to Toronto - we're expecting them 1 April!
This is a registry of things they will need in their new Canadian home. We've already had a lot of things donated, but there are a few things we still need. If you'd like to contribute something, we are grateful for any and all gifts and donations. Please make sure all pre-used items are very clean and are in excellent condition. Thank you.
If you have something really great to give that's not on here, email us at welcometothewestend@gmail.com and we can tell you whether we have it yet or not.
Once our family is here, we will likely have a better sense of what we should be getting for them, so please check back now and again to see if you have something you can pass onto them. We'll keep this registry up for the whole year (at least) so we may be requesting things they need for next winter at some point.
This website compiles our list of gift requests, but does not sell the gifts. If you would like to 'claim' a gift, be sure to click on the 'Give this gift' button so the gift will be claimed in your name, and so that we won't receive any duplicates. Then, you can follow our instructions on how or where to give the gift.
We continue to be humbled by the generosity of our families, friends, colleagues and neighbours. People are good. Thank you.

Please keep donating throughout the year.
I will use them to stock our family's home with bathroom, kitchen and cleaning supplies!
5 toothbrushes, hair comb and brush, toothpaste, tooth floss, soap, shampoo, conditioner, kleenex, cotton balls, q-tips and lots of feminine pads
Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, baggies, garbage bags, paper towels, parchment paper, and whatever else you can think of.
Stay tuned for this one til we get the apartment and know what we need.
A broom, dustpan, mop, toilet brush, and all the cleaning products they'll need to start moving in!
Help liven up our family's home!
Get rid of those pesky coupons you've got lying around and give them to our family. Grocery, hardware, pharmacy, book coupons - we'll take them all!
The family will likely be walking a lot as they won't have a car. Help them get their groceries home.
