Food Drive In Ottawa

As the Holiday season closes in, we are reminded of how much giving to others can be as exciting as receiving.  We all enjoy being charitable and generous with our friends and family, but it is also important to remember to share it with our Community: we have all heard the Salvation Army bells, and we have all seen collection boxes for toys and food in various stores.

The purpose of the Holiday season is to embrace the joy, hope and generosity that surrounds us everywhere at this time of the year; and no matter the size of your piggy bank, everyone cane make a difference in someone's life.

For this Holiday season, our daycare decided to give back to the Community by organizing a food drive that lasted all of December: boxes were set up at the doors of every classroom, and for some rooms, boxes had to be added because of everyone's generosity.   The classrooms even made a contest out of it to see which one would collect the most items!
As a result, parents brought in tons of items that included non perishable foods, diapers, toothpaste and toothbrushes and even winter boots!  We were able to collect over 310 items, all of which were donated to the Ottawa Mission.

We would like to thank all our wonderful parents for their generosity and also thank them on behalf of all the underprivileged families that will benefit from their generosity.
