Community Support

At Yellow Gazebo, our goal is to be the center for natural health care for everyone in our surrounding community. Sometimes this means discounting our treatment fees when we are able, and sometimes this means raising money to help a local organization in need. This organization might be a local seniors' residence, an organization that helps children, or even a larger community-based non-profit institution that survives on donations. Whatever the cause, we'll let you know about it when we can through social media, by posting about it in the clinic, and even mentioning it to you in person when appropriate. We're not shy about helping others!

So while we're working to help the local community, the truth is that we can't do it alone. This may mean that we simply ask you to come in for an extra massage because we're donating a percentage of sales, or it might mean we're asking you to sponsor your favourite therapist on a team run we're doing. Whatever way you can help is always great. It really does take a village, and the team at Yellow Gazebo thanks you for your continual support.

And lastly, if you're part of an organization that is looking for sponsorship or donations, please contact Richard (the owner and clinic director) directly at richard@yellowgazeboclinic.com.

 

What's Happening Now (Winter 2024) at Yellow Gazebo:

It's a Kids Winter Clothing Drive!

We're making it SO EASY to purchase kids' winter clothing items (for kids in need in East Toronto) during our online Kids Winter Clothing Drive. You'll be able to buy anything from one clothing item to... as many as you'd like!

Donations will be given to a contact within the TDSB. No tax is being charged because no profit is being made, and every purchase made will entitle the buyer to a receipt that they may then be able to use for tax purposes.

 

Out Of The Cold program at St Michael's & All Angels Church

Every year the wonderful people at St.  Michael's and All Angels (trust us, they're all angels there!) organize lunches to be made every week for people experiencing food shortage. Yellow Gazebo is happy to be participating in making some of these lunches, and you can help out too! Just let us know you'd like to take part, and we'll point you to the right people.

It takes a village, so thank you in advance!

 

What's Happened Recently at Yellow Gazebo:

Silent Auction for Toronto Indigenous People

Is there a better way to help people than to sell a bunch of cool stuff while doing it?! We had over a dozen local businesses donate tons of great items, including food, health and beauty items, and more. It was pretty amazing and we raised nearly $1,000! 

And 100% of the money raised in our auction went go to Na Me Res, a men's shelter in the St. Clair West community that helps Indigenous men in the city. The auction ran from Sunday, October 15th at 12pm, through Sunday, October 29th at midnight.

It's a Kids School Supplies Drive!

We made it SO EASY to purchase kids' school supplies (for kids in need in East Toronto) during our online Kids Winter Clothing Drive. You were able to buy anything from one clothing item to... as many as you'd like!

Donations were given to a contact within the TDSB. No tax is was charged because no profit was being made, and every purchase made entitled the buyer to a receipt that they may then be able to use for tax purposes.
