Sponsored by NETworks through Pride For Parents. Our goal is to preserve the pride and dignity of the families we serve in our community. We accomplish this by collecting new toy donations and selling them at extremely affordable prices, instead of giving them away, believing that our families would prefer to provide for themselves instead of receiving a handout.
We need you to make that happen. You can help by donating funds, buying toys, and volunteering. A volunteer sign up link, complete shopping guide, and Amazon wish list can be found at our website. Desired items include: blocks, cares, action figures, ethnically diverse dolls, dress up clothes, sports equipment, books, paints, board games, bikes, & gift cards.
