Unfortunately, we are not hosting our annual Hearts for Kids Toy Drive this year. But thank you to those who've asked about ways to give to help those in need during the holidays.
With so many people needing assistance this holiday season, due to job loss, financial hardships and an ever-evolving pandemic the times of generosity are needed now more than ever.
Looking for ways to give for the holidays?
1. Give to the "Spark of Love" campaign. Various fire departments (San Bernardino, Moreno Valley, Riverside) are filling up their trucks and collecting new, unwrapped toys, sports equipment, blankets and gift cards for underserved children and teens.
If you would like to help them make the holidays bright for some awesome kids, click the links to find more information about their drop-off donation sites:
2. Another way you can give during the holidays is with the Marine Toys for Tots Virtual Toy Box. There's an innovative virtual toy box where you select the child’s age and toys to give from the list provided. Your donation will be distributed across the country to children who need them the most.
3. Last, but definitely not least, you can continue your support for Adonai Families - our partner for the Hearts for Kids Christmas Toy Drives the past few years. This is a great organization that serves families who are coping with a child with cancer or other serious illness.
Although, we weren't able to host a toy drive for them this year, you can still give to show your support for their heart and mission to make the holidays brighter for many dark days these families face.
Other Opportunities
Listed below are a few other local events from organizations, charities, churches and nonprofits that are in need of donations and volunteers for the holidays, as well.
