With the year drawing to a close and Christmas just around the corner Toronto Caribbean has launched their very first Christmas Toy Drive in hopes of spreading joy to the children in the community this holiday season.
“It is important for us to do this for the community, because the community supports us and we are in a position where we are able to help out and give back,” says Trish Browning one of the owners of the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper.
“It’s the right thing to do,” urges Grant Browning CEO of Carib101 Media Corp.
In the spirit of giving back, Toronto Caribbean invites those who would like to contribute to drop off any unwrapped toys or donations to the Toronto Caribbean (Carib101 Media Corp.) office located at 55 Rutherford Road South Unit 205, in Brampton anytime from Monday to Friday from 9:30am-6:00pm.
Every year many organizations make it their personal mission to give back to the community whether it be through a clothing, food or toy drive. The holiday season has always been a time of spreading love and joy to those families who need it most. Many low-income families that reside in Brampton have difficulties making ends meet. For those of us who are privileged it is important that we use our resources in a positive way and provide those who are less fortunate with the opportunity to experience the better quality of life they deserve.
By donating toys to the children this holiday season, you will be providing a Christmas that many of these children might not have had. Their parents and families spend all year working hard for what they have and this is the least that we can do to ensure we can provide a little happiness and a smile at Christmas time.
All of the toys donated will be given out on December 19th from 1-3pm at Coconut Breeze restaurant 168 Kennedy Road South in Brampton. Children and their families can enjoy great company amongst fellow members of the community and children will have the opportunity to meet Santa and receive their presents.
If you would like to recommend a family in need to be invited and included as part of this wonderful event please let us know by contacting our office at 647-723-6298.
FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY!!
LET’S HELP MAKE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL FOR THOSE CHILDREN WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT HAVE ONE!
