Sponsor a Family for the Holidays
Embrace the true spirit of the season by becoming a Secret Angel and sponsoring a family for the holidays. It's a heartwarming opportunity to spread joy and make a tangible difference in the lives of those who may need a little extra support during this special time. As a Secret Angel, you'll receive the unique chance to help a specific family, learning about their holiday wishes, and turning those dreams into reality. Whether it's providing essentials or granting cherished wishes, your generosity will create memories that last a lifetime. Join us in this wonderful initiative and be a beacon of hope for families in need. Together, we can make this holiday season truly magical.
Toy Drive for Keian’s Holiday Wish
It is that time of the year when we start collecting donations for the Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive. The donations helps brighten the holiday season for sick children and their families.
Donations from the toy drive will go to B.C. Children’s Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital. The yearly campaign of giving is held in memory of six year-old Keian Blundell, an honorary member of the RCMP, who lost his battle with leukemia in 2014.
The 2023 Toy Drive is being organized by members of the Surrey RCMP Community Response Unit and Youth Unit.
New, unwrapped toys (suitable for all ages up to and including 18), cash donations, and gift cards will be gratefully accepted until December 14. People can drop off donations at the Surrey RCMP’s Main Detachment or at one of three District offices in Whalley/City Centre, Guildford, and Newton. The Blundell family has also set up an Amazon Wish List for those who wish to give online.
Three community donation events will be held in support of the Toy Drive this year at the Guildford, Newton, and South Surrey Superstore locations on Friday, December 8th, from 10 am to 8 pm.
Since 2017, close to 11,500 toys and $39,500 in cash donations have been collected by the Surrey RCMP for the toy drive. For more information, visit Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive 2023 on Facebook.
