Help cheer up others in the community during these challenging times.

Toronto police 22 Division and partners are hosting a Stuff the Bus holiday toy drive at the Sherway Gardens Toy R Us, 690 Evans Ave., on Sunday, December 13.

You can help brighten the Christmas of a child in need by helping to stuff a bus full of toys outside the Toys R Us location at Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke.

The annual and much-anticipated Stuff the Bus event is taking place between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

The event is put on by Toronto police’s 22 Division, the 22 Division Community Police Liaison Committee, the TTC’s Queensway Division and Toys R Us.

The charity has been helping to uplift and serve the community for more almost 20-years.

The Stuff the Bus event was established in 2003, as a police and TTC initiative to raise gifts of new unwrapped toys, electronics, personal hygiene, new clothing and monetary donations benefitting the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness among others.

An earlier drive by 22 Division officers helped to raise much-needed food and toys that went to help St. Margaret’s Church, on Sixth Street, in its work in helping the needy.
