We encourage you and your family to clean out your closets, bedrooms, and garages for items in good condition that are no longer in use.

We are collecting the following gently used:

  • Stuffed animals/ dolls
  • Riding toys / wagons
  • Board games and card games
  • Toys, cars and trucks
  • Sports equipment
  • Backpacks / duffle bags
  • Baby toys
