Teachers are a very generous bunch! As a result of this generosity, and the desire to make a positive contribution in our communities, our local has organized, for the 7th year in a row, our Toys from Teachers Toy Drive! The purpose of our toy drive is to help bring a happy holiday to children and teens in need in the Durham region. Toy donations are collected from schools that choose to participate, and delivered to the Salvation Army, which looks after their distribution. Donations should be given to the Workplace Steward at your worksite, and be ready for pickup by Monday, December 7th. All donations are greatly appreciated!
Guidelines for donations are:
- unwrapped, new toys only, suitable for children or teens,
- no toys depicting or encouraging violence,
- include batteries if toys require them, and
- donations don't have to be "toys" - consider donating art or craft supplies, a picture book or paperback, gift cards (with dollar amount clearly indicated), mittens, watches, etc.
We thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!
