Toy and Item Donations
Important Things to Note:
All items must be new and in their original packaging. Do not wrap the gifts as participants will be shopping during Giving Joy. To help us sort all the gifts by amount, please be sure to notate the retail price of each donation.
Donations can be dropped off each weekend at your location in collection boxes in the foyer, or at our main office during the week (9am–3pm Monday-Thursday).
