> Christmas Toy Drive
The mission of the Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity Society is to offer immediate assistance to families with children experiencing the loss of a loved one through emotional and financial support.
Charlene Reaveley was a mother of four small children who lost her life while helping others. But at Christmas time, Charlene was always the biggest child of all. She loved every minute of the holiday season, watching as her children opened there gifts from Santa and shared in their excitement. Charlene would also often donate gifts to less fortunate children in her community.
This first annual Christmas Toy Drive is our way of keeping her love for Christmas going. The Charlene Reaveley Children's Charity Society is asking for donations of new unwrapped toys for children ages 0-12 years. Please help us bring smiles to children's faces this year by showing them they are not alone. Drop off an unwrapped toy in the drop boxes at either of these Canadian Tire stores:
- 1220 Seguin Drive, Coquitlam
- 2125 Hawkins Street, Port Coquitlam
Help us make all the difference this season for less fortunate children with a gift of hope.
