This year’s Toy Drive brought together friends, families, neighbours, and local organizations with one shared mission: bringing joy to children and families in need. All toy donations were directed to The Salvation Army’s Toy Mountain, and all financial contributions were generously given to Variety Ontario, an organization dedicated to ensuring children with disabilities have access to inclusive sports, recreation, and empowering community programs.

Honouring Kelly’s Legacy: The Heart Behind the Toy Drive
The KMA Holiday Toy Drive began as a tribute to Kelly Marie Atyeo, a radiant, compassionate woman whose life inspired everyone who knew her. Kelly lived with remarkable positivity, resilience, and dedication to helping others. With a background in Applied Science & Human Nutrition and a Master’s degree in Nutrition Communication, she co-founded LiveWell Marketing and built a life around health, wellness, and meaningful human connection.
Kelly passed away in 2019 after complications from Crohn’s Disease, but her legacy of kindness lives on. Her family created the annual toy drive to continue the goodwill she embodied; a tradition that now touches countless lives each holiday season. Dunpar is humbled to support a cause rooted in such genuine love and generosity.
Seven Years of Partnership
Dunpar has proudly supported the KMA Holiday Toy Drive since its inception. For seven years, our team, residents, and community partners have come together to make a meaningful contribution during the holiday season.
This year, we once again served as official drop-off locations, welcoming donations at:
- Dunpar Head Office
105 Six Point Road, Etobicoke - Kingsway Village Square Luxury Rentals
571 Prince Edward Drive North, Etobicoke
We are grateful to every resident, neighbour, and supporter who took the time to drop off a toy or contribute financially. Your generosity directly brightened the holidays for children across the GTA. And your kindness truly reflects what community is all about.
Thank You & See You Next Year
To everyone who participated this year: THANK YOU. Because of your support, families in our community will experience a holiday season filled with joy, dignity, and warmth.
If you missed this year’s event, we encourage you to join us next season as we continue this beautiful tradition. The Toy Drive takes place annually at the end of November, so mark your calendars now! We would love to see you there supporting this meaningful cause.
Building More Than Homes: Dunpar’s Ongoing Commitment to the GTA
Dunpar Homes has been part of the Greater Toronto Area for more than 40 years, and our commitment to community is central to everything we do. Whether we are creating meticulously crafted townhomes, apartments or commercial spaces in Mississauga, Etobicoke, and Toronto, our purpose is the same: enriching the lives of the people who call these neighbourhoods home.
Our developments are rooted in thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and a desire to strengthen the communities we build within. Supporting initiatives like the KMA Holiday Toy Drive is one of the many ways we extend that mission beyond our construction sites.

As we reflect on another successful year of giving, we are reminded that community is built through moments of kindness, shared purpose, and collective generosity. Dunpar is honoured to stand alongside the Atyeo family and our fellow partners in carrying forward Kelly’s legacy.
Thank you once again for your support, and we look forward to joining you next year to make an even greater impact.
