Paige was excited to meet Officer Carter today when she donated toys and money to Toys for Tots. She purchased some toys that she thought a boy and girl her age would like and we took them to the Police Station in our community. It's not an easy thing to explain to a six year old who believes that Santa can reach everyone...but after a lengthy discussion she realized that Santa needs help too. We watched Santa fly in on a helicopter and Paige commented "shouldn't he be hard at work at the North Pole getting ready?!". One thing is for sure, she'll be a tough boss one day!
The Toys For Tots is a great program. "The Halton Regional Police Service, in partnership with Canadian Tire, the Salvation Army, Halton Honda and the Mandarin Restaurant, will be launching the annual Toys for Tots holiday fundraising drive. Toys for Tots spreads holiday joy by providing gifts to less fortunate families living in Halton Region." You can donate now at your local police station and Canadian Tire locations.
