Sixth Circle Charity are your helpful heretics in Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood. We offer aid to those in need, and aim to dispel the incorrect notion only those who believe in a god can do good.

We heretics are not inherently evil; we simply think differently, often guided by conscience, reason, and compassion rather than doctrine & dogma. Our drive to provide charity did not vanish with belief.
We raise awareness of heretics being kind & charitable within our city. Research shows that positive, personal contact between members of different groups is the best way to reduce prejudice & change attitudes - so shake hands with a devil today!
We stand for secular humanism, justice, empathy, science, bodily autonomy, rationalism, LGBTQIA2S+ rights, personal liberty, and ethical living. There is no need for a god to have morals or a purpose in life, nor is a god necessessary to do acts of kindness.
Our main chartiable activity is distributing warm clothing in Parkdale during the winter. Heretics are often told we'll be warmed by the flames of hell, but we prefer to help others stay warm & comfortable sans threats of eternal torment. The rest of the year we raise food donations for the Parkdale Community Food Bank
Our name proudly references Toronto's nickname "The Six", and the 6th circle of hell being reserved for heretics as depicted in Dante's Inferno; so while many of us loving heretics can't afford property in our favourite city, we'll have plenty of it in the afterlife surrounded by many fun neighbours!
Many people use the idiom 'fight like hell', but what the world needs now is less violent rhetoric and more compassion - so let's 'help like hell' instead!
Help us raise funds to purchase food for the Parkdale Community Food Bank who fight poverty and food insecurity within our neighbourhood. If you make a donation of $20 or more you will recieve* an enamel pin that shows you've helped like hell!*

While having been involved with charitable work and donations for years, we have only recently organized under this unified banner to explictly state who we are. With the rise of hateful rhetoric and ignornace, often steming from religious extremism, we feel it neccessary to raise awareness of the good done by those often vilified as 'evil', 'unrighteous', or 'antichrists'.
