Share’s Food Bank is preparing for its annual Christmas toy program.
The Tri-City social services agency collects toys and provides them to residents of the Tri-Cities to assist families over Christmas.
Parents or guardians of children 17 and under may apply to receive toys but must register. To qualify for the Share Family Services toy program, you will be required to provide documentation to support that your household income is at or below the low-income standard. (As well, if you are not the child’s parent, you may be asked to provide legal documents indicating you have custody).
You may register at Moody Pacific Grace MB/Chinese Church, rear downstairs at 2622 St. Johns St. (across the alley from the Share food bank), on Wednesdays and Fridays through Dec. 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
At the time of registration, you must apply in person with current I.D. and the following:
• proof of address, e.g. recent rental agreement, utility bill, bank statement for all adults in the house;
• CareCards and/or immigration cards for all members of the family;
• and income source, e.g.: cheque stub from MEIA, E.I., WCB, work or bank statement for the household.
