Spreading Cheer, One Toy Drive at a Time

As the holiday season approaches, the Goderich community toy drives are once again reminding us of the power of generosity.

Toy drives across the area are in full swing to support families for a variety of charities to ensure every child experiences joy this Christmas.

For many families, the season can be a difficult time, but toy drives bridge that gap turning compassion into action. Each donation represents more than a gift; it gives a message of hope and belonging.

The Bluffs at Huron got literal about their toy drive and drove through the neighbourhood collecting gifts from residents on Sunday morning. Organized by Todd Uren, he wanted to ensure every child experiences the magic of giving and receiving.

The gifts collected will go to the Perth Huron Children’s Aid Society.

Beyond this event you can still drop toys off at various locations. To name a few:

Harbour Hill Retirement Community at 104 Suncoast Dr. E. is collecting toys and non-perishable items until November 28 for the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is collecting toys and monetary donations at 303 Suncoast Dr. E. but be sure to call to confirm drop-off hours: 519-524-2950.

Steve and Mary’s on the Square is hosting an event at the Goderich Legion on December 2 from 4-7 p.m., which accepts donations for hampers and toys for children. Donations can be dropped off at Steve and Mary’s on the Square ahead of time.

Domino’s pizza has an exciting offer. Bring in a new, unwrapped toy and get a free medium three-topping pizza. This is only for a short time starting November 24 and ending December 8.

As we count down to Christmas, the spirit of giving is alive and well in Goderich. Whether you donate a toy, volunteer your time, or simply spread the word, every act of kindness helps brighten the season for someone else.
