Rock 95 / Kool FM Toy Drive
For 34 years, the Rock 95/Kool FM Toy Drive has brought Christmas joy to children throughout Simcoe County. This initiative is about much more than just gifts; it’s about fostering hope, community, and a sense of belonging. Each donation, whether large or small, helps make Christmas morning a magical experience for local children who might otherwise go without.
Last year, the Toy Drive teamed up with more than 20 nonprofit organizations to provide gifts for over 1,500 children. This accomplishment was only possible thanks to the ongoing generosity of the community, whose contributions continue to make a profound impact on families in need.
Once again, the Toy Drive calls on the community to spread holiday cheer by supporting kids across the region. This year’s goal is to reach even more children, ensuring they feel the joy and warmth of the season.
How You Can Help
From November 12 to December 19, we’re collecting new, unwrapped toys for children from infants up to 16 years old. You can drop off donations at participating locations throughout Simcoe County, including:
- Canadian Tire in Barrie, Innisfil, Alliston, Wasaga Beach, Orillia and Collingwood
- The Beer Store location in Simcoe County
- Toys “R” Us on Bayfield Street in Barrie
Thank you to Cedar Pointe Business Park generously provided by Europro for finding a home for our toys this year!
In addition to toy donations, monetary contributions are also greatly appreciated, as they allow organizers to purchase gifts tailored to specific age groups and fill any gaps in toy donations. Every dollar makes a difference and helps bring joy to more children in need. Donations can be made on the Rock 95/Kool FM Toy Drive website.
