Kids Helping Kids Toy Drive

How will your kids remember Hurricane Sandy? Let's use this opportunity to teach our kids the importance of helping others.  While they might not understand the extent of the devastation caused by Sandy, we can help them see in some small way how kids were affected.  We can explain to our children that Hurricane Sandy caused some kids to lose all their toys, and we can show them how we can help.  We are collecting donations of toys for those kids who lost everything.  This does not have to cost you a thing!... Let your child choose one of their toys to donate, and let them come with you to drop it off. They can experience firsthand what it means to help others.

On Saturday, November 10th from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm we will be holding a toy drive for the kids who lost everything in Hurricane Sandy. Please feel free to stop by during that time with your children to drop off donations. We are accepting all new and/or gently used toys for all ages.  No donation is too small- even crayons and paper will keep kids entertained. If you are not available to drop off your toys that day, please contact either of us to set up an alternate time that will work better for you.  We will be taking these toys to shelters in towns where families lost everything. 

Thank you in advance for your support,
Stacey Klompus and Stacy Gallin
