HO HO HO! Contributing to a happy holiday for families in our local area.

We are hosting our 10th Annual Holiday Toy Day Celebration for local families who are experiencing income struggles this holiday season.

Families with children in West Linn Schools, Clackamas County Head Start program or Foster Care have been selected to participate in our event. They will be given the chance to get toys and needed clothing items for each child in their family. Parents will be able to select items from our donations of new toys and clothing.

All parents want to experience the joy of providing their children with needed items and toys to make the holiday special, help to make that happen. “During times of unemployment or other types of financial difficulties, buying toys can seem like an impossible extravagance. This event gives parents the opportunity to select gifts for their children that they would not otherwise be able to afford.” 

We are looking for volunteers to “adopt” a child or family, which means to purchase their requests or make a monetary donation to help us fill requests.

We have elves who like to shop for these families, but we can always use more help! Please join the group of folks who support this project!
