Gravenhurst, ON Despite COVID-19, Gravenhurst Firefighters are once again gearing up to collect toys to help the Salvation Army provide a Merry Christmas for area children who may not receive a gift otherwise. Firefighters will be stationed at the Gravenhurst Canadian Tire on Saturday, November 21st, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. collecting toy donations for the Salvation Army. Residents also have the option to drop off unwrapped toys during business hours to Gravenhurst Fi...re Station #1 located at 190 Harvie St. from now until November 21st. All kids deserve to have a present under their tree on Christmas morning, and despite COVID-19 putting a damper on our regularly scheduled campaign, the need in our community still exists, said Danielle Ryan, firefighter and toy drive coordinator. This campaign has grown in success every year since its inauguration and we’re hopeful that even under the current circumstances, this year will be no different, explained Ryan. This is an excellent opportunity for the community to support one another locally and to give back after what has been a particularly challenging time for many local families. All donations of new, unwrapped gifts are welcome. While we encourage people to make donations for children of all ages, we ask those who wish to donate to also consider including books and puzzles for the older children. For more information please call (705)-687-3414
