Since William Krehm founded the company in 1955, O'Shanter has had a long history of supporting people and institutions in need through various community outreach programs, donations to charitable institutions, supporting refugees, and other fundraising initiatives implemented to help society. It is our way of giving back to the communities that helped strengthen our business: employees, residents, and all stakeholders.
Over the past ten years alone, approximately $240k has been donated to support different humanitarian causes like helping schools/colleges and hospitals, supporting COVID-19, supporting cancer and other disease research, research, and regularly making food bank contributions to aid those in need, especially the children. We support both local and international organizations.

BBQ Event at Brentwood Towers and Food Drives
Every summer, we hold a BBQ event for our residents at Brentwood Towers —a complex of 5 buildings with over 1,000 units located at Yonge and Davisville. The annual event allows our residents to meet and greet their neighbours and gives our residential community a chance to give and accept donations to charities.
Since we started in 2010, we have raised roughly $65,000 in combined cash and food items. Some of our BBQ efforts beneficiaries include the Arts City of St. Jamestown and the Geneva Center of Autism - Toronto. In addition to our annual BBQ at Brentwood Towers, O'Shanter has been supporting Food Drives conducted by our residents in the lobbies of our buildings. These drives donate directly to church congregations and charitable organizations around Toronto.

Holiday Donations
O’Shanter takes pride in the generosity of our partners. Instead of sending Christmas presents to our business associates, we've made it an annual year-end practice to make donations on their behalf to the charity of their choice.
