Share in the holiday cheer by donating a toy!
The holidays are a joyous time, but they can also be difficult for those struggling to make ends meet. You can bring cheer to families in your community by purchasing and donating a toy/gift for a child who might otherwise go without!
In December, families participating in Community Action programs are able to choose toys/gifts for their children at no cost to them because of generous community donations. Toys and gifts are currently being accepted for children age 0-18, especially baby/toddler items.
To make donating easier, Community Action has created a wish list. Those interested in donating can purchase an item from the list and ship directly to Community Action. Toys purchased in person can be dropped off at 210 O St., Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Volunteering: Volunteers are needed to help families shop for toys in the Community Action Store. Volunteer shifts can range from one to four hours and between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., from December 9 to 13. Sign up to volunteer by clicking here.
In addition to toys/gifts, Community Action is also accepting donations of diapers. Most needed sizes are 4, 5, and 6.
If you have a business, group, or organization that is interested in hosting a toy drive or volunteering for Community Action, please contact Sam Bates at 402-875-9320 or sbates@communityactionatwork.org to coordinate drop off.
Those wishing to donate another way may contact Jessie Hedrick at (402) 875-9338 or jhedrick@communityactionatwork.org.
Thank you for your support!
