Leduc Santa's Helpers host annual Toy Drive

LEDUC -- Leduc residents are invited to take part in this year's Toy Drive hosted by Leduc Santa's Helpers.

The annual initiative aims to support the organization's Christmas hamper program by collecting new, unwrapped toys. It will take place in the parking lot of the Leduc Chamber of Commerce (6420 50 Street) on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Leduc Santa's Helpers President Rob Logan encourages residents to take part in the event. 

"We're going to have a few pickup trucks as well as our big gazebo tent, so you'll be able to see us out there," said Logan. "All residents have to do, is if you have any unwrapped and unused toys, you can drive on up, and some of our volunteers will take them off your hands while providing some of the information about our organization." 

Logan also provided an update regarding the cancellation of this year's live auction. He says that despite the cancellation, they still hope to go ahead with an online edition of the annual auction, hopefully before the end of November.

"We are looking to try to set up an online auction so there's still a way for the community to help support us as well as potentially doing some of their own Christmas shopping in the process," said Logan. "We're hoping to have it set up before the end of the month."

On Dec. 12, Leduc Santa's Helpers will partner with the Leduc Junior Athletic Club during a three-game Saturday that will include fans, players, and coaches donating their unused toys for this year's Christmas hampers.
