Wish List
Our branches are always in need of various in-kind donations. You can help us by organizing a special seasonal project, or a food or clothing drive. Your gifts will be greatly appreciated.
Give the gift of music to a child!
Children in our low-income community truly value music lessons YSM offers in partnership with the
Music Box:
“Having a guitar to play at home is so special – I wouldn’t have learned to play otherwise!”
“I’ve never seen my son try so hard, he likes music so much!”
You can move children off the waiting list and into our after-school music program by funding more instruments:
we need to add 2 keyboards – at $280 each and 3 guitars – at $125 each.
Please donate online or contact Anne Keyes at akeyes@ysm.ca, 416 929-9614 ext. 4247.
We have an urgent need for an

We need a new (or used, in good condition) commercial grade freezer to replace an older unit that is rapidly wearing out. If you can help us by making a donation towards the $3,400 purchase price please contact Anne Keyes at akeyes@ysm.ca or 416 929-9614 ext. 4247.
