NEWS RELEASE
SOUTH SIMCOE POLICE
*************************
It's almost here! Yes, winter is coming, and that means our annual Stuff A Command Post toy drive will soon be here.
The weekend of Friday, November 27, our Command Post will be on location at various stores in our area, accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys.
Every year, South Simcoe Police partner with CTV Barrie to grow Toy Mountain.
The toys collected are donated to the Simcoe County Children's Aid Society, for distribution to needy families at Christmas.
Last year, the entire Command Post was filled to the top by Sunday afternoon.
On Friday, November 27, the Command Post will be at Canadian Tire, Holland Street West, Bradford, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
On Saturday, November 28, the Command Post will be at Walmart, Holland Street West, Bradford from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
On Sunday, November 29, the Command Post will be at Sobey's, Innisfil Beach Road from 9 a.m. to noon, just prior to the Alcona Santa Claus parade.
Donation boxes will also be set up at both police stations, available Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Celebrity guests in the past have included CP24's Cam Wooley, Breakfast Television's Frank Ferragine, Chief Rick Beazley, and CTV's Rob Cooper.
Who knows who'll you meet when you drop in with a donation to Stuff A Command Post?
