The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive

Save-On-Foods and all their amazing customers kept filling the tree with plenty of toys, gifts and gift cards! Our families were so incredibily thankful for all the kindness and generosity that made sure their holiday season was filled with JOY!

Thanks Nanaimo!!!

Things had to operate LOT differently this year in order to keep all our volunteers, contributors and recipients safe. Stepping in at the last minute to help was this incredible team from Junk In Our Trunk

Children in Nanaimo will be sparkling with delight after this brilliant cheque presentation from WFG Charitable Trust. Combined with a matching donation from World Financial Group Associate, we are overwhelmed with gratitude to receive the incredible amount of $19,755. These funds are key to ensuring that no child will go without, in the spirit of the Christmas custom.

Our Christmas Elves have been busy at work sorting and bagging toys for all the good little girls and boys! Dynamic Mother/Daughter Duo are getting the job done safely! #wearamask

More than 800 bags were used to create these Santa Sacks for more than 400 families and their more than 1000 children. Thanks to Canadian Tire and Home Hardware, Building Centre & Furniture Stores for making sure we had the best quality bags to do the job!

Hearts to these health care workers who organized a toy donation in their workplace. These amazing folks in Ambulatory Care made time to safely donate toys, cash and gift cards between their busy and stressful pandemic protocols! Our community is enriched by your kindness and caring!

Give a cheer to @coastalcommunity Hammond Bay Branch for being such a great community partner and allowing for drop off of ALL these toys! . Much appreciation to all the folks who dropped these off!
