THUNDER BAY – Christmas is a happy time in most households, but for some children, the holiday season can be a little disappointing.
The staff at Gore Motors Honda is hoping to help cheer things up a bit.
They’ve brought back their Toy Odyssey campaign for an 18th year and hope to fill an SUV with toys and clothing and other household items for women in support of Faye Peterson Transition House.
“All the toys that we’re collecting are for the less fortunate to help them enjoy their Christmas as well, as well as their (mothers) who may not be able to have the gifts to enjoy over the Christmas season,” said dealership finance manager Frank Augruso on Friday.
“We’re encouraging people to come on down and donate toys, clothing for women and for children and deliver them here to the Toy Odyssey, which you’re seeing is starting to fill up.”
The goal is to have the minivan filled by Dec. 15, in order to be able to distribute the toys ahead of Christmas.
Gore Motors is located at 361 Memorial Ave.
