2012 Toy Drive
County of Simcoe Paramedic Services would like to thank everyone who donated to the 2012 Toy Drive; it was extremely successful, collecting 7,475 new toys, $9,169 in cash/gift cards, and 2,044 pounds of food for families in need across the region.
This year was the 10th anniversary of the County of Simcoe Paramedic Services Toy Drive! The 2012 Campaign ran from November 16th through till December 17th. Many of our donations were collected at local parades and department stores across the County of Simcoe this season, as well as from our drop boxes located at each of our stations and the County of Simcoe Administration Building. We would like to thank all our residents who donated for their continued generosity and support in helping those in our region most in need to celebrate this holiday season. Your donation will spread the spirit of the season, and help give those less fortunate at Christmas this year.
All donations are distributed to the following local charities:
Children's Aid Society
Coldwater Food Bank
Sharing Place Orillia
Salvation Army Orillia
Salvation Army Collingwood
Elmvale Food Bank
