The TTC is gearing up for its annual Stuff-the-Bus Toy Drive, starting Friday.
Kicking off outside the Corus Quay building at 5 a.m., transit employees will be collecting new, unwrapped toys in seven of the TTC’s 12-metre buses. The toys will be donated to the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness.
The buses will then be parked outside seven Walmart stores across the city, starting at 11:30 a.m. at the Eglinton and Pharmacy location.
The following stores will accept donations on Saturday, November 30 and Sunday, December 1 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.:
- 165 N Queen Street (Hwy. 427/Queensway).
- 799 Milner Avenue (Milner/Morningside).
- 1900 Eglinton Avenue (Eglinton/Pharmacy).
- 2245 Islington Avenue (Islington/Rexdale).
- 2525 St. Clair Avenue West (St. Clair/Runnymede).
- 3132 Eglinton Avenue East (Eglinton/Markham).
- 5995 Steeles Avenue East (Steeles/Markham).
Stuff-the-Bus hopes to raise more than $70,000 worth of donations this season.
Over the past seven years, the drive has collected $150,000 worth of toys, helping more than 3,000 families and 10,000 children.
The TTC expects to break the $200,000 mark this year.
