Overwhelmed by support for Nobleton Christmas Drive

January 28, 2014 · 0 Comments

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the many people and organizations who contributed to The Nobleton Christmas Drive this year. These people made it possible to help numerous children in our area and their families have a wonderful Christmas.
I am deeply touched at the response this year and have to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, to the following people and organizations.
The Nobleton Lions Club; King City firefighters; Len and Rita, Tim Hortons Nobleton; King Chamber of Commerce; Rotary Club of Kleinburg; Nobleton Feed Mill; Boynton Brothers; Nobleton Seniors’ Club,; Nobleton Village Association; Christmas in King; Women’s Institute; Mark Pavilons, Editor, King Weekly Sentinel; Longos Foods; KARS, John’s No Frills; Ashley Thorn; Tracy Marinucci; Tracy Ritson; Marchand Family; Jackson Family; Hussey Family; Brown Family; Bernhardt Family; Zacchigna Family; Gibb Family; McClure Family; Tom Ritson; Keith Young; Hayhoe Family; Pia Belperio; Swail Family; Kelly Ritson; Seymour Family; Deachman Family; Bev Heise; Nobleton School Council, Mrs. McLaren for the bake sale, Peggy Weir and the students, parents and staff at Nobleton Public School.
As you can see, we had so many amazing people and organizations helping this year, the response was truly overwhelming. A special thanks go out to Fire Chief Jim Wall and his staff at the King City fire station for his dedication to helping tirelessly with the toy donations.
On a personal note I would like to thank my husband Kevin and my Brooke, who without them this would not be possible. The Christmas Drive, Lions and community itself shared in a great loss – the passing of Ray Castator. He will be truly missed by myself personally as he was a great supporter of the Nobleton Christmas Drive through the Nobleton Lions Club. We send our deepest condolences to his family.
Thank you again to everyone who supported and helped make this year one of our most successful years yet.

Knowledge is power and accurate information can be invaluable in keeping communities safe. That was one of the messages delivered by York Regional Police officers during a community safety meeting Monday night, held in the municipal council chambers.

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
