The boxes of food, including all the ingredients for a Christmas dinner and enough supplies to last through the holiday season, were then delivered to 238 less fortunate families all throughout Aylmer and East Elgin. At the same time, Aylmer Optimist Club members were delivering boxes of toys to less fortunate children throughout Aylmer and East Elgin to complete their annual Toy Drive.
