TGCA Playgroup Donations Needed

We need the community's help to start a playgroup

donations call out graphicThe TGCA has teamed up with some local families to start a playgroup but before we begin to play, we need equipment, so we’re looking for donations.

All donations need to be appropriate for babies/toddlers. So no small parts, loose plastic or sharp corners. 

If you have any of the following gently used items, please drop off, thoroughly cleaned, at the TGCA office during office hours, Mon-Fri, 9 am – 4:30 pm or contact Vanessa to make other arrangements, 403-274-6840 or email v.gillard@tgcacalgary.com. For larger items, please call ahead. 

The TGCA is grateful for community members’ generosity, however items not on the list will not be accepted. 

Donations accepted until March 1.
