Donate Toys
Toy Donation …
Every child deserves the joy of play. Toys not only entertain, but also support emotional, social, and educational development.
For toddlers, toys help with motor skills, shape and color recognition, and imagination. As they grow, games, storybooks, and puzzles promote learning — from language and numbers to critical thinking and problem-solving.
Unfortunately, underprivileged children from low-income backgrounds often miss out on this essential part of childhood. Not because they lack curiosity or imagination — but because their families simply can’t afford toys.
You can help.
Donate your new or gently used toys to one of the toy banks listed in the ‘Whom Can You Contact?’ section below.
Your gift can spark joy, inspire learning, and brighten a young life.
