Every Community Needs Its Heroes
The York Regional Police Holiday Heroes campaign is back! Each year, this program supports thousands of individuals and families in need in York Region.
The 2025 Holiday Heroes campaign will run from November 15 to December 19. They are seeking donations of cash, gift cards, new toys, new children's clothing, non-perishable food items and hygiene essentials.
The donations will be distributed through our community partners Salvation Army, Victim Services of York Region and the York Region Centre for Community Safety.
In Richmond Hill donations can be dropped off at #2 District - 171 Major Mackenzie Drive West.
In 2024, a total of 6,440 families victimized by crime and other tragic circumstances received holiday gifts and other essentials thanks to the generous donations of our everyday heroes. Since the program launched 29 years ago, Holiday Heroes has helped approximately 109,000 individuals and families in need.
This year, York Regional Police is hoping to expand the reach of the campaign even further. Please help us reach our goal of $250,000 in monetary and gift card donations.
Monetary and gift card donations allow our community partners to purchase essential items, and ensure support is provided to families in need after the holiday season has ended.
Every community needs its heroes. When you donate to the Holiday Heroes campaign, you have a direct positive impact on the lives of those in need within York Region.
