A handful of Esquimalt students are taking matters into their own hands, literally, as the Salvation Army struggles to fulfill teen gifts this Christmas.

The Esquimalt Atom Smashers – a robotics team from Esquimalt High – will host a toy drop-off for the drive on Dec. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Esquimalt High, 847 Colville Rd.

Thursday (Dec. 12) team captains Colin Morris and Bennett Fulcher dropped off fidgets and 3D-printed toys.

“The community does so much for us, with events, sponsorships and being an awesome place to grow up and live in. It always feels great to give back whatever we can and make the biggest positive impact that we can make,” Morris said.
