In order to offer a Saint Nicholas to “all” children, the non-profit organization is launching its 14th major toy drive. From November 4 to 24, you can drop off new toys or those in good condition at the ASBL offices located in Watermael-Boitsfort, or in one of the 18 Fox & Cie stores in Wallonia and Brussels.
Like every year, Nostalgie radio is joining the project via its “Nostalgie Magic Tour”, which will stop in six French-speaking Belgian cities (Messancy, CharleroiNivelles, Namur, Brussels and Liège) from December 2 to 7, ensuring a “festive and effective” redistribution of toys to local associations.
During the day, the volunteers, supported by the Arc-en-Ciel team, will sort and prepare game boxes according to the specific needs of each association, before distributing the packages in the evening. At the same time, partner Bebat will collect and recycle used batteries.
In total, some 387 member associations of the non-profit association specializing in Youth will be able to benefit from this toy drive. Whether they are reception and accommodation centers, homework schools, or even youth centers, they all work actively in youth aid and support for disadvantaged children.
This year, singer Suarez is the official sponsor of the Nostalgie Magic Tour. Last year, the operation made it possible to collect some 14,122 toys, giving more than 7,000 children the opportunity to receive gifts for the end-of-year holidays.
