The Toy Store is an event sponsored by members of our community who creating an affordable shopping experience for parents who otherwise may not have the ability to provide Christmas for their families. New toys & gift cards are collected at local area businesses, churches, schools, and organizations. This shopping experience allows parents to shop for their own children while maintaining their dignity, rather than just being handed a bag of toys that someone else picked out. This gives parents the ability to personally pick out gifts for their families.

We provide assistance for any child living in the home up to the age of 18, and enrolled in school.
