This holiday season, Kettle Valley Memorial is proud to serve as a donation centre for Shop of Wonders AND host our very own annual ‘Fill the Room’ Toy Drive!

Together, we’re on a mission to bring joy, magic, and hope to families, children and organizations in our community this Christmas.

From now until the holidays, we’re accepting donations of new, unwrapped gifts and toys for children and families in need.

Your generosity will make a direct impact, whether it’s through Shop of Wonders or through our own annual toy drive’s community outreach. Let’s make this holiday season brighter for everyone!

Let’s rally together to fill the room (and hearts) with holiday spirit! Whether it’s a doll, board game, puzzle, or cozy winter gift, every donation makes a difference.

Together, we can spread love and joy throughout our community. Let’s make this the most magical season yet!
