The Town of Ajax is calling on residents, businesses and community groups to support neighbours in need this holiday season through its annual Mayor & Council Toy & Food Drive.
The campaign, which runs until December 4, collects food, toys and everyday essentials for local individuals and families facing affordability pressures during the holidays.
"I'm proud that the tradition of bringing our community together continues through the Mayor & Council Toy & Food Drive. With affordability pressures continuing to impact everyone, supporting those in need is more important than ever. The Mayor & Council Toy & Food Drive gives us an opportunity to help local individuals and families with food, toys and everyday essentials during the holiday season. I encourage everyone who is able to contribute and help demonstrate the strong sense of community we have here in Ajax," Mayor Shaun Collier said in a Town of Ajax news release.
The drive is an annual tradition organized by the mayor and members of council, and it relies on donations from across the community. The town is encouraging anyone who is able to give to take part.
Residents, local businesses and community organizations interested in contributing can find details on how to participate through the Town of Ajax's official channels.
The campaign wraps up December 4, leaving just over three weeks from the town's announcement for donors to make a contribution ahead of the holidays.
