Toy Mountain 2016
The Oldford Team is happy to use its Real Estate office at 530 Main Street, Winchester as a drop-off point for the 2016 Toy Mountain campaign!
Taking part is easy! Simply donate a new, unwrapped toy and you will help make this Christmas a special one for girls and boys in need. This year alone, the Salvation Army expects to help 16,000 children in the Ottawa region. Girls and boys requiring help range from the age of newborn to 12 years old.
We will also be picking up toys along the parade route at the December 3rd (6p.m. start) Parade of Lights in Winchester and the December 11th (2p.m. start) Christmas Parade in Metcalfe.
