Home Horizon
Donate to the Holiday Cheer Campaign focusing on buying Christmas presents for the youth living at HOME HORIZON’S Barbara Weider House – a safe, transitional home for youth ages 16-24 facing homelessness in our community. With your support, last year they not only succeeded in providing a little bit of Christmas to the 10-youth living at the home, but they were also able to replenish a full roster of items heavily distributed by the Outreach Program which serves 70 of at-risk youth living in our area quarterly.

Collingwood G&M Hospital
The Greg Syrota Team helps the community in more ways than just selling homes and finding your next dream property. With every sale, a portion of their commission goes to supporting our local Collingwood General and Marine Hospital, with a new goal of $50,000.
90% of the hospital equipment is funded by donations like yours. Community support is the only reliable source of funding for technology, supplies and equipment, which is why The Greg Syrota Team feels passionate about giving back. It directly helps our neighbours, family and friends that rely on hospital resources. Your donation helps update surgical equipment and technology, purchase the best tools for our Physicians and Medical staff, and provide updates to the facility. Thank you, Collingwood and surrounding area homeowners, for helping us, help each other. At the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation, there are a number of different vehicles and donation options for you to choose from. See link below the listed options to find out more!
