Every year The Midland Mirror sponsors our town's Toy Drive
which is run by The Children's Aid Society.
As a company, we have always been involved in collecting toys and money for the children of Midland, however, when our son Matthew was 4 he decided he wanted to help us with this very worthywhile cause. It's been almost 6 years and he is still very happy making these beautiful creations and especially about helping other kids.
He decorates a Belgian Truffle with 3 types of chocolate and decorations and sells them for $2.00 each. Matthews earns $1.00 and donates $1.00 to the Toy Drive so that gifts may be purchased for children who otherwise may not get a gift on Christmas morning.
We had hoped that this would teach Matthew the value of earning money, but it has gone far beyond that. He loves being able to help other children have a good Christmas and is coming up with new ways of doing this. We shall update later...
We accept donations of unwrapped toys any time of the year as well as cash. Please drop in and see our Toy Mountain which we usualy build in November.
Let's help our children have a great Christmas!
