While their parents serve Canada, military kids often face the holidays with an empty seat at the table. A quick video call cannot replace a hug or the joy of having mom or dad home. Your gift reminds them that their community honours their sacrifices and cares about their happiness.
What We're Collecting:
- New, unwrapped toys for children up to age 12 (suggested value $20–30)
- Gift cards for teens aged 13 to 17 (suggested value: $25)
These gifts will be shared with military and veteran children at Calgary MFRC's holiday parties in Calgary, Red Deer, and Lethbridge. We’re grateful for every donation. Toys for ages 5–12 are most needed this year.
