It&#8217;s easy to get blinded by the twinkling Christmas lights and forget those less fortunate, but when you look for them, opportunities to give back to the community are shining just as brightly. <a href=\"https:\/\/bcaletrail.ca\/breweries\/main-street-brewery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Main St. Brewing<\/a> is doing just that with its fourth annual Miracle on Main Street toy drive benefitting the Downtown Eastside Women&#8217;s Centre. Kicking off December 1, and running until December 12, the brewery is accepting donations of unwrapped toys, games, sporting goods, and gift cards which will be delivered to the DEWC for the annual children&#8217;s Christmas Party on December 16. PLUS &#8211; when you make your donation, you&#8217;ll receive a complimentary flight of flagship beers at the brewery, and be entered into a series of prize draws.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-10'
