Toys for Tots Holiday Gift Drive
We are excited to support children in need with the Toys for Tots Annual Holiday Gift Drive this year! All donations we collect between December 1-17 will be taken to a local donation site and distributed to children throughout Santa Clara County. Beginning December 1, there will be two large donation boxes in the Parish Hall entry area.
A way to engage young children or grandchildren may be to ask them to pick out something they think a child their age might like to receive. The San Jose chapter of Toys for Tots has put together a suggested wish list here. All donations must be new and unwrapped. Requested items include – toys, books, board games, puzzles, balls (soccer balls, footballs, basketballs etc.). Pre-teens and teens can be an overlooked donation group because they are harder to shop for -- some suggested items include sporting equipment/bags/balls, books, backpacks, cosmetics, purses, watch/wallet gift sets, bath gift sets, board games, radio control cars/trucks, hand-held electronics, skateboards/helmets, curling irons, hair straighteners, and hair dryers. They discourage the donation of video games or other devices that need a secondary console to be used.
