This year we will again be collecting toys under the program Toys for Tots. If you would like to help out by purchasing a child’s toy then it can be placed in the collection box in the entryway near the coat rack outside Katie’s office. The box will be available in November and through December 5th. The toys will then go to Megan’s Place, an area inside The Windham Area Interfaith Ministries, also known as W.A.I.M. The recommended spending amount for a child’s main toy is $20 per toy, and use your imagination, or for ideas popular toys include baby dolls, big trucks, fashion dolls, Legos, nail and hair accessories, and jewelry making kits. Parents who register will be able to pick a toy for each of their children from WAIM. Families who use our food pantry can get additional information at the food pantry.
If you would like to add a toy to your shopping list, please drop off you new and unwrapped toy to the box by December 5th. Your help will be greatly appreciated by families who cannot afford holiday gifts for their children this year. Thank you in advance. Last year we collected 42 toys.
