About
Sometimes, providing gifts at Christmas can be tough. You can join us in helping our neighbors in the Marks Village housing community provide gifts for their families this year by donating toys to our Christmas shop! We will have a Christmas party with gifts available at affordable prices for parents to shop for their children. All money raised will go toward summer programs for the children!
This year, give four gifts in one:
- A toy for a child
- Pride for parents who are able to provide for their own families
- A fun time of celebration with our neighbors
- Funding for summer programs in the coming year!
There are many ways you can be involved!
-
Become a Sponsor - We are looking for local businesses & churches who would like to host toy drives or make contributions to fund the event! Contact Raquel to discuss how you can support.
-
Donate New Toys - You can shop on our AMAZON WISHLIST to deliver toys straight to us! If you shop smile.amazon.com & select OTM as your local charity, it's an extra win! Or simply use our list for ideas if you'd rather shop at a local store. We ask that toys be new, not over $65, no weapons (including nerf & water guns), & no electronics. You can drop off new toys at one of our TOY DRIVE LOCATIONS.
-
Donate Wrapping Supplies - We will need endless supplies of wrapping paper, bags & bows!
-
Donate Cookies - Do you love to bake? We'll take your Christmas goodies! Contact Raquel to arrange drop off time & location the week before the store.
-
Volunteer - It's going to take a village! We need hosts, gift wrappers, children's workers, etc. You can volunteer your time by signing up below.
