Toy Share

JOIN US THIS CHRISTMAS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Every year, thousands of families across Central Pennsylvania face financial hardship — and the holiday season can be especially challenging. Since 2003, Toy Share has had the privilege of serving hundreds of families each year, offering hope and joy during difficult times.
 
SERVE WITH US!
Sign up today to be part of our in-person team bringing joy and support to families in need this holiday season. Each participating family will receive:

  • A new toy and athletic equipment for their child
  • A bag of food with several nourishing meals
  • A fun-filled time of family activities and celebration

Toy Share has been transformed into a fully interactive experience! Families will enjoy a special program in Kids Town and a lively Christmas Carnival — creating lasting memories together.

This Christmas, our goal is to serve 400 children from local school districts by providing toys and food for their families...and we need your help to make this happen! There are many ways to get involved in the coming weeks by serving! Explore the various ways to be a part of something truly meaningful!

Other Ways to Give

Can’t serve in person? You can still make a meaningful impact this Christmas through one of these generous options:

  • GIVE | Make a financial donation. See a few options below. You can give via cash, check or online.
  • FEED A FAMILY l Purchase groceries for one or more families. Pick up a shopping list and grocery bag in the Lobby on Sunday, October 19. Return the filled bag on any of the following Sundays – October 26 through November 16 – before either service. Please drive to the East or West portico, and someone will be there to help take your bag of groceries.
  • SCOOTERS & ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT | Donate new scooters and athletic equipment for kids of all ages. Items can be dropped off on the stage at the Christian Life Center any Sunday from October 26 through November 16 before or after either service.
  • USED TOYS | While The Toy Share Experience is only accepting new items this year, Threads Clothing Boutique would gladly receive gently used toys for distribution through our families who shop there. Learn more.

Make Christmas Brighter for Local Families

Toy Share has been serving families in Central Pennsylvania since 2003, bringing joy and relief during the holiday season. This year, we hope to support 400 children with Christmas gifts and food for their families. Your financial support helps us reach more families and share the love of Christ in a tangible way. Every donation makes a difference.

Together, we can make this season one to remember!
There are lots of ways to make a difference. Here are three options. You are welcome to choose from one of these, or give any amount you decide.

BRIGHTEN THE FACES OF FIVE CHILDREN
A donation of $75 ($15 per child) will cover the cost of toys for five kids. Help us give away smiles this Christmas!

SPONSOR AN ENTIRE FAMILY
A donation of $95 provides a bag of groceries, toys for two children and various family resources.

FEED FIVE FAMILIES
In Pennsylvania, 1.4 million people are facing food insecurity, and, of this number, 383,520 are children. It’s our pleasure to provide a bag of groceries to help supplement their needs. We will provide you with a reusable shopping bag along with a list of exactly what you can put inside the bag - $200 will feed five families ($40 retail value per bag).
