Main St. Brewing Unwraps 5th Annual ‘Miracle on Main Street’ Toy Drive, Dec. 1-12

The Goods from Main St. Brewing

Vancouver, BC | Main St. Brewing is gearing up to give back to the community once again by announcing the return of its fifth-annual Miracle on Main Street Toy Drive to benefit the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre (DEWC) on Sunday, December 1 at the Mount Pleasant brewery (261 E 7th Ave.).

From Sunday, December 1 to Thursday, December 12, every guest dropping off unwrapped toys, games, sporting goods or gift cards with a minimum value of $15 will receive a complimentary card for a flight of four Main St. flagship beers — Naked Fox IPA, Main St. Pilsner, Krush Lager and Kingpin Hazy Ale — that can be redeemed during a future visit, as well as entry into a series of a dozen prize draws taking place December 12th through 24th.

All prize-draw winners will receive a six-pack of Main St. beer and a $50 gift card from a local merchant in the Mount Pleasant area, and every entrant over the age of 19 will also be entered into a draw for the grand prize of Main St. beer for a year (one flat of Main St. beer per month beginning in January 2025) to be drawn on Sunday, December 24.

The Miracle on Main Street toy drive kicks off on Sunday, December 1 as the brewery throws a launch party for its newly released Vinyl Dark Lager (4.8% ABV) and welcomes DJ Jumbotron into the tap room to spin tunes on vinyl from 3 to 6 p.m. While the prize draw portion of the event lasts from Dec. 1 to 12 exclusively, guests are encouraged to drop off donations for local families beyond the cut-off date.

All donations made to the Miracle on Main St. Toy Drive will be delivered to the DEWC prior to its annual Children’s Christmas Party. Founded in 1978, DEWC is one of the few safe spaces within the Downtown Eastside exclusively for self-identified women and their children. It provides practical support to hundreds of people in the form of refuge and shelter from conditions of poverty and violence, hot meals, free clothing, mailing addresses, phone and computer access and secure toilets and showers

For those looking to go above and beyond to show their support, the DEWC’s Holiday Donation Wish List includes slippers, blankets and throws, winter wear (gloves, hats, scarves), clothing (socks, pajamas, underwear), toiletries (lip balm, hand cream, make-up, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrushes and combs) as well as backpacks and school/art supplies.
