United for Play: Summer Fun Product Drive
Many local families can't afford outdoor toys and summer essentials for their children. You can help change that. Donate new, unused summer items to GenNEXT’s Summer Fun Product Drive in support of Norwood Child and Family Resource Centre and help ensure every child has a summer filled with play, laughter, and adventure.

This May, United Way’s GenNEXT initiative is bringing summer joy to kids across the Alberta Capital Region, and we need changemakers like you to help make it happen. We're collecting toys, sunscreen, and outdoor items so that all children can play, explore, and stay active all summer long. Find a drop-off location near you and help fill a child’s summer with joy.
