What it is
We collect new, unwrapped toys from neighbors and local businesses, then volunteers sort and wrap them for children in families who are stretched thin over the holidays.
Who it helps
Children in under-resourced San Diego families. Parents and guardians can request help privately, and donations are shared with dignity.
