Mind Body Soul Summer: Toybox Cleanout

It’s wonderful to have toys and games. But, there are some friends who may be less fortunate. Go through your toys and games and donate to a local organization (dependent on Covid regulations) or make a FREE pile outside of your home for others to take.

Here are some examples of organizations that could help connect your donations for families in need:

Resell charities like The Salvation Army and other thrift stores, 

Local shelters 

Churches

Child care centers
