2024 Toy Box Impact Summary

This 2024 Toy Box Toy Drive has been nothing short of incredible. It has been an emotional journey, filled with moments of uncertainty as we wondered if there would be enough donations to meet the needs of all the families on our list. But, as He does every year, God has provided more than enough through your generosity.

Thanks to you, over 250 toys were donated, along with over $350 to purchase even more. I am deeply moved by your kindness and generosity. It’s a privilege to witness the joy and hope your giving brings to so many. The smiles on children’s faces and the gratitude in their parents’ hearts are unforgettable.

This year, I want to share two special stories that highlight the true impact of your giving.

The first is about a parent who, just last year, received help from the Toy Drive. This year, she joined us as a volunteer, helping to distribute gifts to other families. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunity not only to receive but also to give back, and she’s thrilled her child can experience the beauty of both giving and receiving.

The second story is about a dear friend who also collects toys for families in need. During one of her deliveries, she came across a homeless family with three young children under the age of four who weren’t on her list. She reached out to me for help, and because of your incredible generosity, I didn’t hesitate to say yes. Not only were we able to provide toys for each child, but we gave them multiple gifts, ensuring their Christmas was filled with joy.

We may never fully understand the ripple effects of the Toy Box Toy Drive, but I trust that God is using it to touch the lives of those who need it most. Thank you for being a part of this mission. Your kindness is changing lives, and I am profoundly grateful for each and every one of you.
