A Season for Giving – 3Food4U’s Christmas Toy Appeal

For many children, Christmas morning is filled with laughter, excitement and the joy of unwrapping gifts. But for too many families in our community, this season can bring anxiety instead of anticipation — the worry of how to make ends meet, how to keep the house warm, and whether there will be anything under the tree at all.

At 3Food4U, we see those realities every day. This is why our Christmas Toy Appeal is one of the most important campaigns of the year. Your donation will buy a new toy and gift for children up to 16 years old, to help bring smiles and hope to hundreds of young people whose families are struggling this winter. These gifts will be distributed both to families visiting our community surplus hubs and to children attending our Winter Holiday Clubs, where we provide food, fun and friendship during the school holidays.

As 3Food4U Founder and Chair Pesh Kapasiawala said:

“Christmas should be a time of joy, not worry. Every child deserves to feel the magic of the season — to know they’re seen, valued and cared for. Together, we can make that happen.”

This appeal is about more than toys; it’s about restoring hope, dignity and connection. With your help, we can ensure that every child wakes up on Christmas morning knowing that their community cares.
