Up until December 14th, The
Raceway lobby was the drop off point for gifts that will be distributed
throughout the city during the holiday season.
Sorting through all of the toys and
preparing them for distribution is a huge undertaking and once again this year
many employees of The Raceway, along with local horse people, were there to
assist by volunteering their time and resources to the Salvation Army Christmas
Hamper program which provides both food and toys to those in need.
“The
Raceway and the Western Fair District have strong ties to our community and
this time of year helping the Salvation Army is a great way to help those who
need it most right here in our backyard,” said The Raceway’s Marketing
Co-ordinator Sarah Imrie.
By all accounts, this year’s program was
another successful one. In fact, one Good Samaritan in the community made an
anonymous donation of $600 worth of toys to the program.
