Canoe FM
Toy Drive
We all know that food is essential—but so is joy.
For many families in our community, the holidays can be a real struggle. While parents worry about putting meals on the table, gifts often fall to the bottom of the list. But imagine the sparkle in a child’s eyes when they receive something special—something just for them. This is where you can help! Donate new, unwrapped gifts before November 30th.
What to Donate: New, unwrapped toys and gift cards for kids and teens up to 18 years old
Where to Donate: Canoe FM at 739 Mountain Street in Haliburton Village.
Donations Close: Sunday, November 30th
