B COMMUNITY MILTONIANS ASKED TO JOIN ANNUAL SHOEBOX FUNDRAISER FOR INDIGENOUS CHILDREN ORGANIZERS HOPING FOR ANOTHER STRONG TURNOUT LOCALLY As the holiday season draws near, local residents are asked to think about thos¢ in our society most in need - and take action. An ideal opportunity to do so once again.presents itself via the I Love First Peoples annual shoebox fundraising drive. Running until Dec. 15, the campaign invites par- ticipants to grab a stan- dard size shoebox and fill it with little gifts for Indig- enous children across the country. Milton has been a strong supporter of the fundraiser in recent years, with three drop-off loca- tions - including Milton Public Library (1010 Main St. E.), Zak's Pharmacy (70 Main St. E.) and Apple Dental Milton (450 Bronte St. S.) - available this time around. Materials put in the shoebox can include col- ouring books, pens, note- books, musical instru- ments, Legos and calcula- tors. Donations with an overall theme like arts and crafts, science, sports .or writing and literature are encouraged. Many of these items are extremely difficult to get vin secluded and impover ished communities in northern Ontario and oth er parts of.Canada. Those filling a shoebox are asked to include an open envelope with $5 for distribution expenses. A happy note to the young recipient is also encour: aged. Do not wrap or deco- rate the box. A complete list of ap- propriate gift items for kids in four different, age - groups is ILFP.ca. available at SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT INSIDEHALTON.COM Ra [a7 A TY R17 ve, 0] & Santa Maria!
