Spread Joy, Share a Toy: Make a Child's Christmas Brighter
-
After Thanksgiving, we begin collecting toys, holiday treats and assorted Christmas gifts to distribute to families in need. We create a toy stop that enables care receivers to choose the perfect gift for their little ones.
Please help us bring the joy of Christmas to a family in need! Gifts for children between the ages of 0 and 17 are greatly appreciated.
Donations are being accepted now through December 22, 2025, Monday-Friday from
8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Mount Carmel Guild.
