Can you imagine being a parent dreading Christmas morning because there are no gifts under the tree for your child? Since 1982, The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive has been making sure that every child in Nanaimo has a new toy to unwrap on Christmas morning. It is the people, groups and businesses of Nanaimo, with the help of many volunteers, that make this happen. You can help by purchasing a toy or gift for a child aged newborn to 16 and dropping it off at one of the many drop off locations. Financial donations can be made through Canada Helps. You can make a child’s Christmas!
