Think of 6 year old Ravi, and that red truck he was desperate to have, but knowing even at that

tender age, it was out of reach for his parents. Or 11 year old Vanessa trying to be cool but needing a little piece of jewelry to fit in. Imagine 39 year old mother, Keesha, unwrapping her Clinique lipstick, a $19 item before tax, a luxury she could ill afford. Tiny gestures from you can give happiness to others and you can help through SCTBS.

Santa Comes to Bay Street (SCTBS) is a registered charity made up of volunteers who have generously given their time to help less fortunate families over the past nine years. Launched in 2003 as a grass roots organization SCTBS has cobbled together over 5,000 gift bags for moms and their children in shelters and outreach programs across the GTA. This would not have been possible without the generosity of both individual and corporate sponsors. As a corporate sponsor, your generous donation will enable us to provide children and families with important necessities and little pleasures, such as hats, gloves, PJs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, crafts, meal certificates and toys. SCTBS has no employees and do not receive any government funding. SCTBS tries its best to fulfill the wishes of women and children in shelters and outreach programs in the GTA. SCTBS asks individual donors to purchase a requested gift in the range of $25-$30. We ask corporations to donate generously to care for selected shelters. These gift bags are given to women and children in supported shelters in the GTA and in the shelters outreach programs. While these organizations provide much needed important services, we at SCTBS want to fill the gap that exists for these displaced families during the Holiday Season. Last year we delivered 1,200 bags. This year with your help we will bundle 1,400 gift bags, an overall increase of 17%. However, we cannot do this alone and need your support to reach our goal. On behalf of the board at SCTBS we would like to thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your support.

Thank you in advance for your most valuable collaboration and consideration.

"Julliettes Place has been involved with Santa Comes To Bay Street from day one, if I did not have you to help me during Christmas time there would be lot of women and children who will not have a single gift to open. This program is essential to my ex-residents program . If nothing else they know that there is someone out there that is thinking about them and cares about them and will do that little bit extra to bring a smile to their face . The times are hard as we all know but when you are on fixed income it makes it even more difficult. I am very appreciative and as are all the women and children that receive the gifts during Christmas from Santa Comes to Bay Street. I wish this program continue success, as it is a well needed during these hard times." - Parveen Bhardwaj, Support and Outreach Worker, Homeward Family Shelter o/a Julliette's Place
