about it, no one buys a thing to donate. We simply gather gently used items you no longer need or that your kids have out grown. It is a great way to help make the holidays extra special for many families in our community that often struggle to put food on the table, let alone presents under the tree. It is also great life lesson for your kids as well, especially this time of year. I am confident we can all find a toy around home that our children would never even miss. We accept new or gently used items, including household items because keep in mind, the kids shop for their parents too. We will even have a gift wrap station, so gift-wrapping supplies are greatly appreciated as well. We will not be accepting clothing or furniture.
