After a successful 10th Annual Play It Forward Toy Drive at the beginning of this year, we are deeply saddened to announce that we have decided not to collect toys this January due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This has been a difficult decision, but we feel that we have a duty to keep our volunteers, general public, and our employees safe and healthy.
 
We know how helpful this cause is for our community, and we encourage you to reach out to your local charities and see if they are accepting gently used toys and what their process is.
​  
We are optimistic that we will be able to continue this program in some capacity in the future.
 
From Everyone Involved With The Play It Forward Used Toy Drive,
Be Safe, Stay Healthy, and Thank You For Your Continued Support.​
