Help Every Child Feel the Magic of the Season
Each year, caregivers connected to Bissell Centre work hard to make the holidays special for their children — even as they face financial strain or fall outside the eligibility for other toy programs. Your generosity ensures that no child is left out and that every caregiver can share in the joy of giving.
Who You’re Helping
You’re helping families who often fall between the cracks — grandparents raising grandkids, parents in separate households, newcomers, and caregivers without stable housing. These are parents and guardians doing their best to create hope, even when resources are scarce.
How You Can Help
We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0–17.
We can shop for you, or you can drop off toys at various locations around Edmonton.

Every Toy Tells a Story
Every toy you give becomes a moment of connection — a parent able to give with dignity, a child lighting up with joy, and a community coming together in kindness.
