Fearless Meat’s Fill The Cruiser toy drive on Dec. 6 maintains tradition started by local resident Robert Adams

Kingston Road restaurant Fearless Meat will be partnering with police officers from 55 Division to host a Fill The Cruiser toy drive next week.

Local residents are invited to bring toy donations for the CP24/CHUM Christmas Wish to Fearless Meat, 884 Kingston Rd. just west of Pickering Street, on Saturday, Dec. 6 for the Fill The Cruiser event.

Those who bring a new unwrapped toy for donation on Dec. 6 will receive a free six-ounce Meat Beach Burger from Fearless Meat. A free vegan four-ounce Beyond Meat Burger, cooked on Fearless’ dedicated vegan grill to preserve integrity, will also be available for those who make a toy donation but do not eat meat.

The Dec. 6 toy drive is carrying on an annual tradition started by local resident Robert Adams who lived in the neighbourhood for 50 years before passing away in November of 2023.

A highly respected Second World War air force veteran, Adams had asked that his tradition of collecting toys for the CP24/CHUM Christmas Wish be continued after his death, and Fearless Meat owner David Brown said he was happy to do so.

Along with local police officers and the cruiser they will be looking to fill with toy donations, CP24 will be broadcasting live from Fearless Meat between 2 and 3 p.m. on Dec. 6.
