31st Annual Larry Kelly Christmas Toy Drive Brings Holiday Cheer Across Waterloo Region

Kitchener, ON — The 31st Larry Kelly Christmas Toy Drive was another tremendous success, with more than $60,000 worth of toys, books, clothing, and gifts distributed to hospitals, social care organizations, child and family services, youth programs, and community outreach groups across Waterloo Region yesterday.

The annual initiative, supported by Woodhouse Group and a network of local sponsors and volunteers, celebrates the lasting legacy of Larry Kelly, whose vision of giving back to the community continues to make a meaningful impact each holiday season.

This year’s delivery route included dozens of stops across the region, ending with a visit to CTV’s Toy Mountain. Each donation helps ensure that gifts reach the children, youth, and families who need them most - spreading comfort and joy not only through the holidays, but throughout the year.

Woodhouse Group extends its sincere thanks to the many sponsors, donors, and volunteers whose generosity and compassion make this event possible year after year. Their ongoing support keeps this community tradition alive and ensures Larry Kelly’s spirit of kindness continues to shine bright.
