Each year, thousands of families rely on programs like ours to supply Christmas gifts for their kids, and this year has been no exception. In 2022, we reached almost 700 kids registered in less than 24 hours of having our list open, so we are humbly requesting YOUR HELP to assist in supplying these kids with gifts.
We are also collecting donations to help supplement the city's programs, as children ages 1-4 & youth ages 12-17, often are forgotten about during toy drive collections, making it difficult for most organizations to support them.
Please consider donating to our 4th Annual Toy Drive. We have many options available, making it as easy as possible for our generous donors.
New, never-been-used items only, as these are Christmas gifts, and for some of our kids, it will sadly be all that they receive.
