Toys”R”Us Canada, a specialty retailer of toys and baby products, has donated more than 700,000 toys to various toy drives during the holiday season. About 600,000 toys were contributed to the Salvation Army’s annual toy drives across Canada. Apart from this, more than 100,000 toys were donated to Bay Street Fore a Cause, in support of various children’s-based charities. “We believe play is a right for children, so it’s incredibly rewarding for us to be able to make this donation and spread the joy of play this Christmas,” says Melanie Teed-Murch, president, Toys”R”Us Canada. “We commend The Salvation Army for its efforts to support children and families in need and are proud to align ourselves with its toy drive initiative.”
“The Salvation Army couldn’t extend its reach as far without the support of community allies like Toys”R”Us Canada,” comments Lt-Colonel John Murray, Secretary for Communications for The Salvation Army. “This donation helps us put a toy under the Christmas tree for thousands of children across the country, and we’re truly grateful for that.”
