Holiday Toy Drive

Nov 19th-Dec 10th

 

+5 points per toy

+1 point per wrapping paper roll

Toys should be: nonviolent, for infants to 17 year olds & new 

Toys will be donated to the 'For the Child' organization & the Long Beach Women's Shelter. Both of these amazing places provide a safe environment for the children of Long Beach who have been abused or have been in families where domestic violence forced their mothers to seek refuge.  If anyone needs a gift, it's them.  

Please donate what is appropriate for your budget and remember that even the smallest of gifts will leave a HUGE imprint on their lives this holiday season!
