Not suprisingly, our lovely community has rallied to the aid of the Children's Storefront, which experienced a devastating fire recently.
For starters, the storefront is operating at St. Alban's Boys and Girls Club on Palmerston Avenue from 9:30 am -2 pm Monday to Friday (but closed this Friday, November 13th. The website for the Children's Storefront has slightly different hours. These ones I have posted are correct as of yesterday.)
As well, The Children's Storefront Benefit Show is slated to run from 1 pm to 10 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 24th at the Tranzac Club, 282 Brunswick Ave. Here are the details about the benefit, taken from the Facebook page devoted to it:
"Please join us for an all day fundraising event for the Children’s Storefront’s new home. There will be an afternoon drop in (1-5 pm), buffet (5:30-6:30) and an evening all star concert (7:30-10:00).
Please check in often for more details as they become available."
If you can't make the Tranzac fundraiser, perhaps you can enjoy Nia during An Evening To Dance and Donate, which also has a Facebook page set up.
Here are the details:
"Join Lainie Magidsohn, Martha Randall, and other Toronto area teachers for an evening of Nia dedicated to the relocation and rebuilding efforts of The Children's Storefront.
Date: Wednesday, November 25, 2009
Time: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: 1443 Bathurst St, just south of St Clair (use side entrance)."
Another way to help is to send along a donation next week:
"From Tuesday, November 17 through Thursday, November 19, The Children's Storefront will be holding a toy and book drive at St. Alban's.
We will be accepting puzzles, infant toys, dress up clothes and books. All items must be clean, in good to excellent condition and labelled and packaged (in boxes or bags). We cannot accept stuffed animals.
If you'd like to offer to help at the benefit, or in any other way, drop an email to the group.
