Our Mission
The Whale-Sized Toy Chest is a federally registered, student-led non-profit organization based in Toronto, Canada, with the goal of providing toys, craft supplies, books, and any other materials that might spread joy to children in hospitals, special education centres, and youth homeless shelters. These facilities are often in need of donations and frequently can’t accept used items, which greatly limits the number of donations they receive. The Whale-Sized Toy Chest was created to address this need by providing these organizations with brand new toys and fun supplies that can help brighten children’s days during these difficult and lonely times.
Our Partners
We are currently the proud supporter of 9 organizations across the GTA!
Our Courage Pods
Through our Courage Pods program, family members of child cancer fighters all over Canada and the United States are welcome to request a personalized Courage Pod for their loved one! Through this program, we hope to be able to help children find joy, hope, and courage in difficult times. Each Courage Pod contains $100 to $200 worth of items including toys/games, books, arts and crafts supplies, snacks, and more!
