-Find a toy drive being held in your area, such as Toys for Tots. Also check with civic groups in your area to see if they are collecting toys for local kids.
-Look online to find the nearest collection box for toys.
-Check your local newspaper, listen to the radio or watch for announcements on television that give gift-giving guidelines and locations.
-Ask the agency collecting toys if it prefer its donations unwrapped so workers can see the items and match them to children who will enjoy them.
-Select toys that do not need batteries or additional parts that a child's family may not be able to provide.
-Engage your children in selecting gifts for other kids. This is a valuable way to teach them the importance of giving.

petrocan, huh? Do you know of any other places where one could donate toys? The newspaper here doesn't mention anything about toy drives and city hall is useless. So is the local radio station :p

I am gonna pick up a few cheap (but good!) Voyagers sometime this week and give them to the "Toy Mountain" charity here in Calgary. I just wish the bins for these were anywhere near where I usually shop. Oh well, all in good fun for the kids! :D

Already Picked up and Donated 5 ROTF Deluxes and 5 Universe Voyagers to Santas Anonymous. Deluxes were on sale for 10 bucks and the universe voyagers were still on for 10 bucks each. Wal-Mart even has the drop bins right in the store. Sharing the transformers christmas cheer!

Donated a movie deluxe and an mp3 player. C'mon people, we're down to the wire here, and you don't want to get upstaged by a GRAD STUDENT, do you? Step up, scrubs.
