I will be at the Pinehurst Community Hall Penny Auction on Saturday November 16th from 11-2 collecting donations for our IWK Toy Drive. Come out and support the hall and maybe support the IWK at the same time.

Just a friendly reminder that the IWK Toy Drive has an ongoing account at the New Germany & Caledonia Area Enviro Center. They have generously offered to keep this account open year round and you can donate at all three of their locations. If you have empties, please consider donating to our cause. Please spread the word so others are aware.

Under one month left until the end of the IWK Toy Drive for this year. We hope to get all donations in by the end of November so we can do last minute shopping, sorting, and boxing. We deliver to the IWK on Friday December 6th.

If you are donating by cheque, we do have a hold on cheques in our toy drive bank account so please allow time (a week or so) for it to clear so we can buy toys.

Etransfers are instant and allow us to spend money right away (etransfer can be sent to [email protected])

Cash donations I deposit in person at the bank.

If you want to buy toys or gift cards, please do. We need toys for all ages (newborn to late teen). Gift cards that help parents and adults in hospital with their kids are great too (think food, gas, pharmacies, general shopping, grocery stores).

All support is much appreciated and all donations go to the hospital in the form of toys and gift cards so they can be given directly to kids and families.

Please share and spread the word if you can.
