Who Are We?

We are a local group of volunteers who's goal is to provide toys
to the less fortunate children in our area.

Our funding is done through community fundraising efforts.  We are
NOT a registered organization therefore we do not issue Revenue
Canada Tax Deductible Receipts.

All proceeds raised is put back into our community.
