Helping families in need this Holiday season, the Mustard Seed locations in Edmonton launched the toy drive for their upcoming Family Gift Centre Pop-Up Shop fundraiser, providing dignity and joy, this unique initiative lets parents choose gifts fir their kids for Christmas.
Rebecca Trask, Community and Volunteer Engagement Coordinator with the Mustard Seed spoke with CFWE on the event as they believe that no kid should go without a nice toy for the holidays.
Trask says that this year they have the goal to help 700 children receive a nice gift for Christmas, adding that with more donations, the more children that are helped through the application based program.
To reach the 700 goal, the Mustard Seed is calling on the support from the community to donate new toys for all ages that can include new toy cars, board games and dolls.
