WE NEED YOUR HELP

“Toys for Tots” is a charitable endeavour which was initiated by the Peel Regional Police in 1993, in partnership with the Salvation Army and Canadian Tire. During the months of November and December off duty members of Peel Regional Police volunteer several hundred hours to collect cash, Canadian Tire money, and new unwrapped toys donated by the public which are used to purchase or give as Christmas gifts for many children in need.

The Salvation Army identifies families experiencing difficulty and distributes the toys purchased from donations. In 2010, we raised $786,508.00.  During the Toys for Tots campaign, and with the assistance of Salvation Army and Canadian Tire, over eight thousand children in the Region of Peel experienced the joy of receiving a Christmas gift.  The enthusiastic participation of the citizens in this Region, along with the hard work of all “Toys for Tots” volunteers provided over eighty percent of the Salvation Army’s festive season toy donations.  

I, and all disadvantaged children of our Region who are the ultimate benefactors, are most grateful for any assistance you might provide and deeply appreciate your participation in this caring and humanitarian initiative at what truly is a special time of year.
If you require any further information regarding our campaign or if you would like to initiate a toy drive within your own business or organization, please feel free to contact the Toys for Tots Chairpersons Constables  Megan Donnelly and Zoe Brown at (905) 453-2121 extension 4033 or by email.
