TORONTO SANTA SHUFFLERS - WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE YOU THIS YEAR!
Come join the fun and run, walk or roll in Wilket Creek Park on Saturday, December 6, 2025, to support The Gateway Drop-in!
Use the entrance located at 1132 Leslie Street, Toronto, Ontario (just north of Eglinton Avenue) to discover our Athletes’ Village.
Festivities will begin at 9:00 a.m. with opening ceremonies at 9:40 a.m. The 5 K Fun Run and 1K Elf Walk will start at 10:00 a.m.
All funds raised through the 2025 Toronto Santa Shuffle will go directly to The Salvation Army Gateway, a seventy-eight-bed shelter and Drop-in centre for individuals experiencing homelessness and marginalization in Downtown Toronto.
Our in-person Gateway Drop-in program operates weekly on Tuesday and Friday. This program allows us to provide critical harm reduction support and social activities that create a stronger sense of community for folks in Downtown Toronto. We also serve our community members lunch each Tuesday and Friday and offer them hot take away meals three additional nights each week.
We were able to fully fund our 2025 Drop-in because of the money raised through last year’s Toronto Santa Shuffle.
With your help, we hope to do the same in 2026!
