Walters Group is determined to help CityKidz leave no tree empty by putting something special under every child’s tree this Christmas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Every year our big-hearted employees donate generously to our Toy and Toonie Drive in support of the CityKidz Gift of Christmas Campaign.<\/p>\n

The Toy and Toonie Drive was a great success again this year! We collected lots of toys for the kids and we raised a bucket of toonies weighing over 50 lbs!<\/p>\n

A fantastic effort by all to help make children\u2019s Christmas wishes come true! This includes children like Grace, who shared with CityKidz that she wants Lego Ninjago \u201cbecause me and my brother love playing it with each other!\u201d<\/p>\n

Across Canada, 1 in 5 children live in poverty. In some of the neighbourhoods CityKidz serves, that number jumps as high as 3 in 4.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Walters Group has been a proud supporter of CityKidz for many years, all year long, not just at Christmas. The generosity of our employees has always been amazing. Our team is always eager to volunteer their time and talents for their building projects such as the mezzanine and new sound stage. But helping to make a child’s Christmas special has always been a favourite in the hearts of our staff.<\/p>\n

At CityKidz, the Gift of Christmas is their expression of faith, hope and love through thoughtful presents and a Christmas celebration for all the children in our CityKidz community. The Gift of Christmas is more than presents under the tree, it\u2019s a chance for us to tell the most vulnerable children in our community that they are loved, that they matter and that someone is thinking of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 1993, CityKidz has walked alongside thousands of children in their journey towards a better life.<\/p>\n

CityKidz was founded on a big dream to see a future free of child poverty; a future where all children have equal opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.<\/p>\n

Though CityKidz has grown and changed over the years, our mission to serve vulnerable children and their families has never wavered, nor have the values guiding us on this winding journey. Through faith, hope and love, we seek to transform lives and end child poverty, one child at a time.<\/p>\n

CityKidz programs are a stable force of love and support for kids from before they can read until well after they\u2019ve written their final high school exams. We teach our kids that they matter, that they are loved, and that they can change their future \u2013 and with it, the world.<\/p>\n
