www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, November 20, 2014 | 16 Salvation Army distributes hundreds of toys to children at Christmas continued from p.14 at Christmas," said Tanner. The 2013 Toys for Tots campaign raised $340,000 in goods and gifts for Halton children. The effort has raised more than $1 million worth of items over the past three years. "You cannot put too much importance on this. It is so critical for a lot of kids at different ages," said Tanner. "As much as we raise, we can probably use more." "Each year, we help with toys at Christmas time for literally hundreds of children," said Salvation Army Georgetown Major Darrell Jackson. Not only are the toys distributed at Christmas, Jackson said, they are handed out throughout the year so parents can give their child a birthday gift or ensure their child has something to bring to a friend's birthday party. Tracey Craig, Georgetown Canadian Tire store manager, said the retailer is proud to be a supporting partner of Toys for Tots for the past 15 years, accepting cash and coupon donations used to purchase items for teens and pre-teens. "Although not a toy drop-off location, it is our privilege to be able to assist by supplying merchandise that this demographic would love to receive Christmas morning," said Craig. Const. Jody Dugan, regional manager of Toys for Tots, said each year the drive collects plenty of toys for young children, but they need more gifts for teens -- preferably gift cards. She said gift cards "empower them to make their own choices" and suggests cards from area malls that can be used at any store. Dugan said Toronto Premium Outlets will support the campaign this year. Also on hand for the kickoff were Acton resident Ryan Parker of Q107, members of the Georgetown Raiders Hockey Association and wrestlers Tiger Jeet Singh and Tiger Jeet Singh Jr. Parents struggling to provide Christmas gifts for their children can contact Dugan at 905-8785511, ext. 4868 or their local Salvation Army -- in Oakville, at 1225 Rebecca St., 905-827-5324 or tsaoakville@cogeco.net.
