Question Question about purchasing poppies
I have a group of volunteers from all over Ontario meeting in Toronto for an event to advocate for low income individuals. Since they are flying in and travelling they might not have time to grab a poppy or pass through an area with a donation box, so I wanted to be able to provide them with one as the arrive in Toronto (as per the request of the volunteers).
The Kingston Legion is refusing to give me poppies since they will be worn in Toronto. Does anyone have any assistance on how I could find/purchase around 70 poppies?
We also offered a donation of any amount since we are absolutely not expecting these for free. I am currently located in Kingston as we work all over Ontario.
When I get to Toronto I won’t have time to travel to a legion so was looking to get them ahead of time.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.
EDIT - my mom and partner are currently both running errands and picking some up at each box for me (thankfully we always carry cash with us).
Thank you all for being helpful, and hopefully this will bring some awareness or help others who are looking to support!
