Mississauga, ON, December 5, 2023 – Spread the joy of giving this festive season with the collaborative efforts of Red Apple and The Bargain! Shop in their annual Together We Care® Toy Drive and the much-anticipated Fill-a-Sleigh Day.
The Together We Care® Toy Drive is inviting everyone to embrace the spirit of giving. Running from November 16th until December 9th, every store nationwide is dedicated to collecting donations. These contributions will be channeled through partnered charities, ensuring that children across the country experience the warmth of the holiday season.
"Our hope this year is to once again witness the incredible support from the compassionate customers of Red Apple and The Bargain! Shop. Together, our aim is to gather $600,000 worth of toys and gifts, brightening the holidays for children in smaller communities nationwide," shared Brendan Proctor, President & CEO of Red Apple Stores.
On December 9th, we'll conclude our charitable campaign with the highly anticipated 7th annual Fill-a-Sleigh Day. As customers explore and shop in our stores nationwide, a generous 5% of ALL sales will be donated towards supporting local charities.
“We're committed to supporting the communities we serve, and the holiday season marks a significant opportunity to extend our aid. With the unwavering dedication shown by our community, our aim is to make Christmas 2023 truly special for those in need across Canada," emphasized Proctor.
