C4K is encouraging residents to consider purchasing toys similar to those their own children or grandchildren might request for Christmas. Gift certificates for clothing stores, Walmart, pharmacies, Amazon and grocery stores are also welcome, helping support children and teenagers who are still attending school.
“We know that Christmas can be a stressful time for families who have limited financial resources,” says Myrlene Boken, C4K President. “The demand for our services continues to grow and this Toy Drive helps take the pressure off families and bring smiles to children’s faces on Christmas morning.”
Community for Kids was founded more than 30 years ago to address needs within the community before becoming a registered charity in 2012.
Monetary donations can also be made here.
