December 12 - 2022 - Holiday Hamper and Food Drive

Posted On Monday December 12, 2022

It's Time For Our Holiday Hamper and Food Drive!

It is that time of the year again where our Applecroft community comes together to support those in need right here in Ajax. We are partnering again with the Salvation Army, and are excited to offer our support once again to families. Our Holiday Hamper and Food Drive will run until Friday, December 16th. We will be accepting donations every day until then.

Holiday Hamper Information

Our format for the Holiday Hamper is slightly different this year again this year. We are asking families to donate (if you wish) a new toy or gift for a child the same age as the child in your home who attends our school. For example, if you have a child in Grade 4, any gift for a child that age would be perfect, or if you have a child in Senior Kindergarten, then a gift for a student the same age would be wonderful. Any seasonal items such as new snowsuits, new hats, new mittens/gloves, etc. are also greatly appreciated.
