The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive is seeing an increase in people registering for Christmas toys and is calling on donations.
For over 40 years the Great Nanaimo Toy Drive has been Nanaimo’s biggest toy drive serving families from Lanztville to Cassidy by providing toys and gifts for families in need.
But now as the drive sees the highest number of registrations ever in its history, there is a concern for the shrinking number of toys being donated.
CHLY spoke with Janet Mirau, the chair for the Great Nanaimo Toy Drive. She told CHLY about the current need for support in toy drives and age ranges that tend to be forgotten in donations.
