A Special Gift Can Make All the Difference
It can bring a smile, hours of entertainment, and help a child feel seen, loved, valued. To bring the joy of the Holiday Season to children in need, each October A Greater Hope launches its Annual Toy Drive. The Drive provides greatly needed gifts for children of all ages living in foster homes. The organization has set an ambitious goal to collect 2,000 gifts this year. To achieve this milestone, we need your help.
The gifts will be given to children in A Greater Hope foster families at the organization’s signature Holiday of Hope Celebration in December. A Greater Hope Chief Executive Officer Helena Lopez highlighted the poignancy of the Toy Drive stating, “For many children in foster care this will be the first time they celebrate the holiday season – the first time they decorate a tree, bake festive cookies and receive holiday gifts. To provide each of the children in our A Greater Hope homes with a quality holiday gift brings a joy I cannot express in words. The kids are elated with their wonderful gifts and their loving resource parents are truly grateful for the extra support.”
Local businesses, schools, churches, community groups and individuals are needed to donate new, unwrapped, nonviolent toys for children aged 0 to 18. Popular gift requests include: basketballs, board games, scooters, remote control cars, dolls and gift cards. A Greater Hope will happily provide toy collection boxes and beautiful signs to those interested in hosting a Toy Drive. Individuals are also welcome to donate gifts.
