As we continue to experience disruption and uncertainty from the pandemic, the Women’s Centre’s Holiday Toy Room program hopes to bring a bit of relief and holiday joy to Calgary women and their families.
Our annual Holiday Toy Room program provides women the opportunity to select gifts for themselves, and their children (ages 0 - 17). Last year, due to COVID, the program was limited by health restrictions, but we still distributed gifts for 800 women and 1900 children. We expect that number to grow this year.
The Toy Room Program will run from Monday, December 13 until Tuesday, December 21 and we ask for your support to ensure our 2021 program is a success.
Please Note: Registrations to receive toys through the program opens November 29 call 403-264-1155 to register.
