Brighten the Holidays for our Brave Families—Donate Toys or Gift Cards Before Nov. 29!
Toys for Military Kids is a heartwarming initiative aimed at spreading joy during the holiday season for children of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and veterans.
We're collecting new, unwrapped toys for ages 3-12, with a suggested value of $20-30, and gift cards for teens aged 13-17, valued at $25.
The campaign kicks off on October 9 and runs until November 29, culminating in holiday parties on December 7 and 14, where these gifts will be distributed.
Military children often face unique challenges, including long separations from their parents, frequent relocations, and the emotional toll of deployment. Many of these children connect with their deployed parents only through phone screens, leading to feelings of loneliness and anxiety.
By donating to this toy drive, you can provide them with a moment of joy and comfort during the holidays, reminding them that they are not forgotten.
Donations can be made at the MFRC offices in Calgary, Red Deer, and Lethbridge. We also encourage organizations to host their own toy drives specifically for the MFRC, helping to collect toys and gift cards for military families.
Your support not only honours the sacrifices made by military families but also strengthens community ties.
Whether you contribute a toy, gift card, or your time as a volunteer, you play a crucial role in making the holiday season brighter for these resilient kids.
Let’s come together to show appreciation for our brave heroes and their families!
