The City of Brampton’s Recreation team is excited to host its annual Food and Toy Drive.
From December 4 to 17, residents can drop off non-perishable food items, new unwrapped toys or gift cards at City Hall, and select Brampton community centres and libraries. Donations will be distributed to Knights Table to support individuals and families in the community.
Last year’s drive collected close to 14,000lbs in donations that directly supported people in need in the community.
