【Compassionate Care】Da Jue Temple Winter Warmth Donation Drive

As the weather turns colder, Da Jue Temple is launching a Winter Warmth Donation Drive to bring warmth and care to people in need in the Toronto community.

Based on the needs of our four partner organizations, YMCA Wagner Green, Scott Mission, St. Felix Centre, and West Neighbourhood House, we are collecting monetary and in-kind donations and purchasing winter essentials and everyday necessities to ensure your kindness reaches those who need it.

We warmly invite you to contribute in whatever way you can. Whether you make a monetary donation or give a winter essential, every contribution is a heartfelt expression of care.
