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, and gift cards, 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.
