Christmas in July Toy Drive
Christmas in July Toy Drive
Churches – this one’s for you! We invite you to help stock the shelves of Baby Bucks with new toys for the children of teen parents.
At Florence Crittenton Services, we remove barriers to success so that teen moms and their children can thrive. One major barrier is the cost of basic items for their families. To address this issue, teen moms can shop in Baby Bucks, a basic needs “store” located on the Florence Crittenton campus. Baby Bucks offers diapers, wipes, clothing, toys, books, and hygiene items for students and their children. While all items are free, products like brand new toys must be purchased with a “Baby Buck,” which students work hard to earn throughout the school year.
For the first annual “Christmas in July Toy Drive,” Denver area churches are invited to collect toys at their locations for FloCrit teen families throughout the entire month of July. Since children learn through play and toys are an essential part of a child’s development, this drive is an opportunity for church communities in the Denver area to support our mission of educating, preparing, and empowering teen moms and their children.
Dates: July 1st – July 31st
What we need: New toys for children ages 6 weeks to pre-k, worth $50 or less.
How: Collect new toys at your church location throughout the month of July. Drop-off is during business hours through the month of August at Florence Crittenton Services: 96 S Zuni St, Denver CO 80223.
