Tree of Lights Christmas Toy Store
Christmas toys for families at an 80% discount from the retail price!
Christmas Toys for Families in Our Programs
The Christmas Toy Store offers a discounted Christmas store for families involved in our programs. This event is held once a year for low-income families who receive a voucher to purchase new Christmas toys for their children at an 80% discount from the retail price! Parents have the dignity of shopping for and purchasing their kid’s toys themselves, but without as much of a financial burden!
Ways to Help
TOY COLLECTION
Help us stock the store with NEW toys & gifts for ages 0-18! You can collect individually or invite your church, business, or small group to collect together. All types of toys & gifts are needed for babies, toddlers, pre-teens, & teenagers! Please keep the retail value of any toy donations above $10.
VOLUNTEER
We have many various opportunities to help before, during, and after the toy store. Opportunities include setting up, pricing toys, helping parents shop, cleaning up, and more! CLICK HERE to sign-up to volunteer.
DONATE FUNDS
Funds donated to the toy store will be used to purchase needed supplies and more toys to fill in the gaps from our toy collection efforts, as well as bikes! For example, if we’re low on teen girl gifts, then we’ll make sure to purchase more before the start of the store. Please make sure to mark any donations for the toy store as such!
