SUMMARY:Donation box info session
DESCRIPTION:The donation pick-up crew led by Steve is truly a team of unsung heroes who go around the cities during November and December dropping off and picking up donations from over 220+ amazing and generous hosts. Their efforts ensure a healthy donation inventory flow that is pivotal to our warehouse logistics. Want to give them a hand? We have an info session happening at the Magic of Christmas new warehouse on November 12th at 1pm.   \nWe invite Calgary’s working force to donate gifts from the comfort of their workspaces. Simply request one or more donation boxes for your organization anytime between November and Christmas Eve. Besides knowing that your gifts will go toward a family in need\, this can make for a fun and meaningful initiative for you and your colleagues. Request a donation box today!
