Drop off a new, unwrapped toy at ATB Financial, Scotiabank, Winners or any other participating Okotoks business before Friday, Dec. 11. The Magic of Christmas Foothills is collecting for families across the Foothills this holiday season.
Last year the program loaded school buses and delivered gifts to more than 250 families in Okotoks, Diamond Valley and High River. Every gift came from people and companies in those three towns, and more than 100 volunteers sorted and wrapped them at St. James Church in Okotoks. It has run for 20 years.
In Okotoks, donations can be dropped off at ATB Financial, Big Rock Chiropractic, CIBC, Crystal Smiles Dental, Fountain Tire, Full Circle Movement, Monkey Mountain Toys, OK Tire, Okotoks Art Gallery, Okotoks GMC, Okotoks Nissan, Scotiabank, Southern Alberta Law, The Sugar Shoppe, Village Lane Dental, Winners and Royal LePage Solutions. In High River, the drop-off spots are Dance Tech, Signature Smiles, Designbright, Southern Alberta Law, High River Fitness, Walkers General Store, Icon Training Club, Ward Tires, Juniper Creek, White Bull Clothing and Pet Valu. Diamond Valley donations go to ATB Financial.
The donation deadline is Friday, Dec. 11. More information is at themagicofchristmas.org/foothills.
