Of this, $2,958.48 has been deposited into the Igloolik Food Bank Northern account. ($131.52 PayPal fees.) Toys have been arriving in Igloolik. HO HO HO !!! Akittiq and the food bank volunteers will be using the school gym to organize the toys for distribution when available. They will then have a better idea of the toy shortfall. Will k...eep you posted. Thank you to all that have pitched in so far. Let’s keep it up! Please continue sharing the Toy Drive with your friends, family and social networks.

Good Stuff !! and the Spirit of Christmas doesn’t stop there in total, Baffinland donated nearly 1,600 Christmas hampers, filled with everything for a Christmas din...ner, to each and every household in Arctic Bay, Clyde River, Igloolik, Pond Inlet, and Sanirajak. and there is more during the course of the pandemic, Baffinland has also provided each household throughout the North Baffin Communities with food vouchers and cleaning supplies. High Five to Baffinland !!! and a huge shout out to all the hardworking volunteers in each community, that organized and distributed these important donations.
