St. Benedict exceeds toy drive target and spreads the message of caring for those in need

Students had a lofty goal – to collect one thousand toys for girls’ and boys’ and as of Friday morning that goal was exceeded.

The toy drive, which happens yearly at this time is done in collaboration with TD Bank and the Salvation Army along with all parents, staff and students at the school.This is the six year the school has joined forces to collect toys for those in need at Christmastime.   

School Chaplin Rob Pappin, who leads the endeavour says “It is important that we who have plenty give to those who have little.  Just as the Magi brought gifts to the child Jesus, it is part of our mission to care for those in need in our community.”
