Toy Drive Updates
Dec 10 2024 - The 160+ toys have been dropped off at the Christie Refugee Welcome Centre (CRWC) in Toronto. The staff will be hosting a Christmas party for the children on the 19th and handing out the gifts. Thank you all for your contribution this year!
Nov 28 2024 - Additional gift purchased for girls between 16-18 as this was a missing segment in our purchases. We are now waiting for all the toys to be delivered from Amazon. Pictures to follow!
Nov 27 2024 - After doing some price checking, Amazon with a prime membership (which we already had) was a much better deal for maximizing the number of quality toys we could purchase.
About 92% of the gift purchasing has been completed so far. The remaining amount will be done before December 5th. We will likely focus on getting items for girls ages 16-18 as that seems to be a missing segment.
Due to the limited amount of donations we achieved this year, we made the decision to focus only on one organization which is Christie Refugee Welcome Centre (CRWC). We coordinated with their donations director and acquired a "wish list" of products that they needed.
Safe to say, we have pretty much purchased every item on their wish list!
Nov 13 2024 - Toys R Us in Woodbridge has agreed to provide us wit a 10% discount on orders between $1000-$7000 and 15% on orders above $7000. This is ontop of any promotions/sales they are already having!
