The Summerland Fire Department and CIBC staff, along with many helpers, are once again sponsoring the 34th annual Toys and Toonies for Tots and Teens drive.

Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s holiday toy drive will not have any public events.

“As we adapt to these unprecedented circumstances, we will continue to serve our communities as best we can,” a statement from the organization reads. “However, in order to ensure the safety of our community and ourselves, we have made necessary modifications to our campaigning.”

Cash donations and new unwrapped toys can be donated at the Summerland fire hall and the Summerland CIBC branch until Dec. 15.

All gifts will then be distributed at the direction of the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre. Staff at the bank branch will do all the shopping and sorting of gifts.
