As Christmas is getting closer each day, Kelowna Santas is asking and encouraging as many people as possible to donate gifts and toys to be given to families in need this holiday season.
Kelowna Santas began 10 years ago by Nikki and Jim Csek, and since then has been incredibly lucky to be supported by the community to help keep this program running.
From sponsors to businesses acting as drop-off locations to all the volunteers that help each year, Kelowna Santas would like to say a massive thank you!
Each year our community comes together to donate gifts and toys for children, but Kelowna Santas particularly struggles to collect toys for teens and older children.
Some gift ideas for teens include card games, construction kits, reading tablets, musical instruments, gift cards, and sports equipment.
If you are able to donate gifts to Kelowna Santas, there are a number of drop locations where gifts will be collected. Drop locations will be collecting new unwrapped toys until December 14th at 4 pm.
Here is a list of all drop locations where you can drop off toys and gifts.
