Helping make this Christmas a great one for families, the Mary Winspear Centre, Sidney Lions Food Bank and Kiwanis Club will be collecting new, unwrapped toys starting Monday, Nov. 16. The three organizations have formed Peninsula Santa’s Helpers, re-organizing the work started under the banner Toys for Tots. Once again this year, the Peninsula News Review’s Coins For Kids campaign will be supporting the effort to ensure the children of families in need are not forgotten this season. Carey Salvador of the Mary Winspear Centre says people can drop off toys for girls and boys between Nov. 16 and Dec. 11 at the Centre, SHOAL Centre, Buddies Toys and Bubba Loo. “Were are looking for gifts, gift cards and even cash to help us reach children age six months to 16 years,” she said. Families must register through the food bank and they will redeem coupons for presents Dec. 16 to 18. Last year’s effort saw 300 families take part, with around 2,000 presents given out. For details, contact Salvador at 250-656-0275.
