We are excited for our 10th year of our Helping Hands Toy Store. Find out more below how you can provide presents and volunteer for the event.

DATE and LOCATION(s) TBD

Below is information about all the ways you can help us make this event happen. For more information or for any questions, contact Zac Martin at zac@jointrellis.org

Providing Gifts

We are inviting faith communities, businesses, elected officials and individuals to provide one [or more]

• New unwrapped gift

• Valued between $15-20

• For children aged 0-14

We serve many Black and Latinx families through this event and so please be aware of providing culturally appropriate gifts [aware of language, skin color of dolls, types of books, etc]

Many of the older children often get neglected. Gift cards [gaming, Amazon, Nike, E-Bay] are often great options

Make a contribution to help us buy toys for the event

Lastly we encourage you to consider shopping local as many of our small businesses are struggling through this pandemic.

We do recognize that for some Amazon might be the best and/or only option and so we also have a link to a most popular toys list

All gifts can be drop-shipped directly to one of our host and partner sites that will be disclosed soon.

Volunteer for our event [sign up below]

Lastly, we would love to have you help us…

• Welcome people

• Help them pick out gifts

• Provide childcare for caregivers picking out the gifts

• Wrap gifts
