Hello Everyone!

It's that time of year again!! It's our 6th Year!! We are collecting new, unwrapped toys to support three hospitals again this year! Last year we donated 12 giant boxes of toys and we are looking to do something similar again! The hospitals we work with are always very thankful and always tell us how much joy our donations bring!

Feel free to shop the latest sales or see below for some ideas. We are also accepting etransfers to [email protected] and we will fill the age group gaps! If you are local to the YYZ Airport, I can meet you, and if you are far, PM me for an address!

We are looking for support for all age groups. Babies need stacking toys, teething rings, linking rings, etc. Young kids love small lego kits, craft kits, hair accessories, books, LOL, Polly Pocket, Minecraft anything! Teens like journals, notebooks, 5$ Tim Horton Cards (they are sometimes allowed to go with friends to the hospital coffee shop).

The hospitals cannot accept clothing or stuffed toys (cleaning surfaces). Thank you again for everything - we are the only Canadian Chapter of Pilots for Kids and I am so thankful for all of you!!

We are supporting three hospitals this year (so far!) Trillium (Mississauga), Credit Valley (Mississauga), and Cambridge Memorial Hospital (Cambridge).
