An overwhelming amount of toys took over the hallway of Lansdowne Place on the weekend for the annual Christmas toy drive in support of Salvation Army. Well done Peterborough!

There are many Christmas Toy Drive Drop-off locations throughout the city again this year. Each one that I've spotted has been over-flowing with toys that will bring smiles to the faces of many children this holiday season. A donation of a new, unwrapped toy is truly appreciated to help support the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. Brought to you by Energy 99.7 and Country 105, the Annual Miracle Broadcast will take place at Lansdowne Place this Saturday, December 10th.

The Samaritan's Purse: Operation Christmas Child Program wrapped up last week after another successful year of donations throughout the community. Once again this year, I filled a shoebox up with items that will brighten a child's Christmas. Such simple day-to-day items that we take for granted, but will help a child have a Christmas they won't soon forget. There were various collection locations throughout the city; I dropped mine off at Kawartha Lakes Bible College where there were an overwhelming amount of boxes ready to be shipped off for distribution. Peterborough continues to show their giving and helpful nature in so many ways, even more so at this time of year.

After nearly a month of collecting bras for "Bras Around The Building", today was the day where they would all be linked together and chained around the CHUM Kawarthas building on George Street. Firetrucks hoisted up the thousands of bras that were generously donated by the community in the campaign to help raise awareness about breast cancer. 4,595 bras were donated, meaning that OLG Slots—which said it would donate $1 for every bra collected—will be donating $4,595 to the Peterborough & District unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. Once the bras are cleaned now by both Rocky's and Kent Cleaners, they will then be donated to the YWCA for distribution.
