Holiday Toy Drive 2024

With the holiday season fast approaching BGC Niagara is proud to announce the launch of our annual  Holiday Toy Drive. With the help of local partners and community members we aim to ensure that every child served by BGC Niagara experiences the excitement and wonder of the holidays. From November 12 to December 6, BGC Niagara is calling on individuals, businesses and organizations to contribute by donating new, unwrapped toys or financial gifts to ensure that no child is left without the joy of opening a present this holiday season.
