Tens of thousands of children’s holiday wishes have come true for 60+ years thanks to the generosity of our friends and partners. Individuals and organizations who donate toys, and volunteers who donate time, come together with staff each year to make the magic of The Holiday Store happen. We hope you will join us in making holiday magic:

DONATE TOYS/HOST A TOY DRIVE:
We are seeking NEW toys, games, books, stocking stuffers, art supplies, craft kits, STEM/STEAM kits, and stuffed animals to stock the Holiday Store. The gifts are for children from infants up to age 12. We respectfully ask for no weapons/weapon-like toys (i.e. Nerf guns). If you need ideas, we have created an Amazon Gift List of ideas/suggestions. If you would like to host a toy drive/collection, contact us for more information and to coordinate. To prepare for our big event on Saturday December 21st, we ask that toy donations be shipped to arrive or dropped off at our East Garfield Park location by Wednesday, December 18th. If you plan to collect a large amount of toys and need a pickup, call us as soon as possible to make arrangements.

MAKE A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION:

VOLUNTEER:
We will be setting up for the Holiday Store December 18th-20th, and the event will be on Saturday, December 21st. We are seeking Set-Up Volunteers during the week to help us set up and decorate the gym, sort and organize the toys, and fill grocery bags. Saturday Volunteers will shop with families, staff merchandise tables, wrap gifts, distribute groceries, and assist shoppers to their cars. Sign up online to volunteer, or contact us if you have any questions.
