Bricks for Hope
Support the Toronto Christian Resource Centre (TCRC)

TCRC has been helping build better lives and a healthier community in Regent Park since 1964. As you may know, Regent Park is the oldest and largest public housing community in Canada and is undergoing a prolonged period of massive dislocation and transformation.  Fairlawn Avenue United Church has long supported the work of the Centre – through annual ‘outreach’ donations, volunteers (including currently, the Chair of the Board, other Board members, and program volunteers) as well a major grant for the construction of 87 new affordable housing units.

To learn more about the work of TCRC, see: www.tcrc.ca

The Buy A Brick program is a great way to raise funds for TCRC while providing gifts that are ‘green’ and of enduring value. With minimal fundraising costs, this program raised over $10,000 last year. We need to reach the same target this year.

When you ‘buy’ a brick for $50, you are making a $50 donation to TCRC for which you will receive a full tax receipt. In return you will receive a facsimile of a brick to give as a gift that says:

On the front of your gift card:

Building Lives and Creating Community One Brick at a Time

On the back of your gift card:

A donation has been made to the CRC in your name by ____________. This gift enables the CRC to continue to meet the needs of the homeless and the marginally housed as well as to support the Regent Park residents as they live through the upheaval caused by the revitalization of their community.

What a great way to make a meaningful contribution while at the same time giving a meaningful gift that truly embodies the spirit of giving.

To make a donation, or for more information, please call Simone at 416 363 4234
Your brick can be mailed directly to the recipient, if you wish.
