3. Did You Know?
Your individual donations though our monthly sales offers and the generous Birthday Gift donations added more than $500 to the Toy Library's coffers in 2010. Many thanks to everyone who made a purchase or a donation. Every little bit helps!
4. Don't Forget
The Toy Library can accept donations made at the Okotoks Bottle Depot. Bring in your empties and tell the staff that you'd like to donate your proceeds to the Toy Library. Your empties will make our hearts full with gratitude.
When you're doing your online shopping all year long, don't forget to use Shopandshare.ca.

5. Green Gift Giving
Does your child end up with way too many toys after birthday parties? At your next party consider requesting charitable gifts where everybody (including Earth) wins. Ask party guests to make a monetary contribution to your favourite charity such as the Okotoks Toy Library.
