The Port Alberni Toy Run made a special delivery to the Salvation Army earlier this month.

On Dec. 8, members of the Port Alberni Toy Run delivered $1,000 worth of groceries from Quality Foods to the Salvation Army.

Like many other organizations in town, the Toy Run has lost funds this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Toy Run has been able to make up some of this lost revenue with the sale of cuddly teddy bears wearing Port Alberni Toy Run shirts.

“This is all due to money we’ve raised during our teddy bear fundraiser,” said treasurer Robin Klatt on Dec. 8.
