A Wallaceburg girl is still in search of donations for a toy drive she launched last month.
Rori Bennett started gathering new toys on Oct. 19, her 10th birthday, and will be gathering until November 19.
All the toys are being delivered to the Ronald McDonald House of Southwestern Ontario for their Christmas Room program.
At this point, donations are coming in very slow.
Donations for all ages are still needed.
Rori told us last month she is looking for a wide-range of new toys, still in the package, but not in wrapping paper (due to allergies) for children ages zero to 18.
“Last year we had a lot of toys for kids ages zero to eight, but for nine and older we had maybe four or five,” she said. “So we went to the store and grabbed one or two toys for my age group. We bought a board game and a few dolls, and masks and actions figures for boys.
Rori and her family have lined up five drop-off locations across Wallaceburg:
– 780 Wallace St. rental office in unit 104
– Debbie McGonigle School of Dance
– St. James Anglican Church
– Sensations Hair Salon
– Holy Redeemer Parish Cluster located at Holy Family Church
If anyone is interested in becoming a drop-off location, contact Rori’s mother Kim McAuley at 519-627-6083 or by e-mail at kimmcauley@live.ca.
