In its own words
The Kinsmen Club of Lindsay collects sorts and distributes toys to children of low income families at Christmas time each year. 'Kinsmen Toy Drive'. We service the City of Kawartha Lakes area. Besides collecting toys through our Blue Toy Barrel program we accept donations that are used towards the purchase of toys and related costs to operate the Toy Drive. From donations received separate from Toy Drive we support several local charities and organizations. The Kinsmen Club and supporters are all volunteer's. We continue to assist in the community with service related projects when possible. …
