Hey Titans!

Matt 25 is hosting its first holiday toy drive, Titan Elves! The event is partnering with Markham Fire and Emergency Service’s Holiday Toy Drive, with all donations going to the Salvation Army and Markham Stouffville Hospital’s Children’s Centre.

This holiday season, Matt 25 encourages you to consider children, youth, and families within the community that are not able to afford new toys. With hopes of spreading the Christmas spirit and reflecting on Catholic faith values, St. Augustine is called upon to work together to address present needs in our community.

Not sure what to bring? Here are some ideas!

Babies, Toddlers, Children:

  • diapers
  • wipes
  • food pouches
  • formula
  • clothing
  • blankets
  • development games

Tweens and Teens:

  • bluetooth speakers/headphones
  • sports equipment (e.g. soccer balls, fishing gear, bike accessories)
  • exercise equipment (yoga mats, jump ropes)
  • reusable water bottles/tumblers
  • cosmetic sets (e.g. makeup, nail polish, hair accessories)
  • essentials and care goods (e.g. shampoo sets, winter gear, lip balm, bath bombs, wallets, blankets, umbrellas)
  • phone/electronic accessories (e.g. chargers, popsockets, LED lights)
  • backpacks
  • board games

Please bring your items to Matt 25’s Toy Drive display located in the front foyer from December 4-8. Let’s ring in the holiday season by working together to collect over 100 toys!
