What is it?
The Community Toy Store is a partnership between local organizations, churches, and community members. The Community Toy Store is designed to serve families that are having a difficult time financially. It gives them opportunity to experience the joy and dignity of personally providing for their children this Christmas season.
New toys are donated with the price tags still on, as well as gift cards, and then the prices are cut by 75-90%, allowing parents to shop at the reduced prices. Free gift wrapping is provided, and childcare is offered while parents shop. All proceeds from the sales at the Toy Store are then donated to non-profit programs, such as Rebound of Whatcom County and The Whatcom Dream, thus allowing families to be recipients and contributors.
How can you get involved?
1) By Donating Toys/Gift Cards: The deadline to bring your donated items is Monday, Dec 12.
Bring your donated toys to Northlake and place them under the Christmas tree in the foyer. Please don’t wrap them! Bring your gift cards to the Sign-Up Counter on Sunday mornings or at the front office during the week.
2) Volunteer: Northlake will be hosting the morning shift on Saturday, December 17th, from 7:30-11:30am, and will help oversee the Toy Store operation during that time. We will also be providing a continental breakfast. Many volunteers are needed, including greeters, cashiers, gift wrappers, food coordinators, etc. Sign up at the Sign-Up Counter on Sunday mornings, or email: email Carolyn Roy.
