Donate Some Toys!
« on: December 06, 2004, 09:18:18 AM »
I know this should be in the off topic section, but I'm the owner of the site, so what I says goes! :-) (So leave it here guys).

Every year in December, I donate anywhere from 20 to 50 action figures to various 'toy drops' around the city. True, it is stock that I have too much of, but the basis for doing so is that every kid should get toys for Christmas. With the multitude of donation centers in everyones city, I personally think we should ALL take one packaged (sealed) toy from our collection (or go buy one) and donate it in your area. The main reason we collect G.I. Joe is because we love it, or/and it relates to our youth.

Make an effort to donate some toys this year gang. I've done it every year since I was 17, and now I'm 31. Since I've had the store, I've been doing the 'bigger drops' for the last 4 years. It makes you feel good and more importantly it'll make a less privilaged child feel good.

That's it. That's all I wanted to say. The more people that help out those that can't afford to have a happy holiday - the better!
Mike

I also make it a point to purchase about 5 - 10 toys for kids
some goes to the CBC toy drive- the rest goes to Sick Kids.

I've given to the UofT Toy Drive the last two years and will continue to do so this year.

I cleaned out my room and basement of packaged toys that have been laying there for over a year (some over three years). I've had stuff I bought from ebay that I regret buying, and stuff I bought at stores that seemed awesome at the time. I even repackaged my Sega Genesis with all its games and accessories. They are all going to the Mississauga Library toy drive. Someone has to supply the toys for the toy drive, besides the canned goods and used books.
