Oakville, Ontario — December 30, 2013 — The Christmas lunch at Budds’ Collision Services in Oakville, Ont., is an annual industry tradition, drawing together stakeholders from all parts of the local auto claims economy. It’s always a good time and a chance to renew contact with peers. This year, though, there was something more to the event than good cheer.
Budds Collision Services added a twist that fit in perfectly with the event and with the season: collecting toys for children in need.
“We asked folks to bring an unwrapped toy with them,†says Sam Piercey, co-owner of Budds’ Collision Services. “We collected a van full during the event, so we know we all helped to make sure kids had a Merry Christmas.â€
All donations were given to the Halton Regional Police Service’s Toys for Tots programs. You can see more about this program here.
