Karen and I have been promoting a toy drive in our community to help one of the important social service agencies in Toronto. Woodgreen Child Care Centres support hundreds of families and they never have enough help. These families need food and shelter. These are the basics we all need to survive. Our little event will perhaps give their children a bit of joy over an otherwise difficult holiday season.
We've done this before and each year are humbled by the generosity of people.
We make it easy to donate. Shamie at Silly Goose Kids Toy Store (647-341-4400) answers your call and they take your credit card information. This takes 2 minutes, 23 seconds. I've timed it. $5.00 buys a pretty good toy, at least it appears to be good to the little kid who won't receive any other. $20.00 buys a bunch of toys. $50.00 buys a whole bunch of toys. $100,000.00 would be .....
Each donation receives an entry to a draw which will be held on December 11th. The winner receives an E-Bike. You've seen them all over the city. They're powered by a battery that recharges very easily and inexpensively.
What do you think?
