The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive
Every donation at the door helps put a gift under a tree in Nanaimo.
The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive is our charitable partner, and has been for years. Their work is simple to describe and hard to do well: make sure no child in Nanaimo wakes up on Christmas morning without a gift to open.
Entry is free and it stays that way, so the cash box at the door is how we help. Bring a little cash with you, because that is the only way we can take it. Half of every dollar you put in goes straight to the toy drive, and the rest helps us run the market. Whatever you have on you as you walk in, it adds up across two days and a few thousand visitors.
If you would rather bring something, we are an official drop-off point as well. New and unwrapped, either day, and we will see that it gets there.

Give what you can at the door
Entry is free, so the cash box at the door is how we help. Half of everything you give goes to the toy drive. Bring a little cash with you, and a new unwrapped toy is just as welcome if you would rather do that. November 27 and 28.
