First Friends of River Vale Donate Hundreds of Toys

This year the River Vale, NJ First Friends Tuesday 1-2 year old and Friday 4-5 year old, Mommy and Me group decided to run a toy drive. The moms made the donating process a great learning experience and taught their little ones how to make a difference in another child’s life that is less fortunate. The First Friends Friday’s 4-5 year old group, Tuesday’s 1-2 years old group and some people from their community donated a total of 355 gently used toys of their own or purchased new toys to make another child smile and BELIEVE in magical holidays. It took 5 cars to deliver 355 toys to Bergen Childcare Development Head Start program and a local Church in Hackensack, NJ. The children learned how to make another child’s holiday extra magical. Thanks to Second Chance Toys for connecting the group to the Head Start program and the Church in Hackensack, NJ.

Girl Scout Troop Learns Through Experience...The Rewards of Giving

Girl Scout Daisy Troop #2307 of Riverhead has really worked hard over the past couple of weeks organizing, and cleaning used toys. The troop which consists of 12 girls in Kindergarten and 1st grade have donated over 75 used toys to Long Island Child and Development Services Inc. a private, non-profit organization which has several Headstart locations throughout Suffolk County. The toys were donated to the Southampton Headstart in Riverside, NY. The Headstart center has a population of 104 students from low-income families. The toy donation has given the girls a great experience. They have learned to recycle, give back to there local community, and help bring a smile to child who is less fortunate.

Thanks Second Chance Toys!!!

Long Island Siblings Experience the True Meaning of Giving

Syndi and Justin of Kings Park on Long Island went through their games and toys and came up with quite a bit of plastic toys to donate. Almost everything was in perfect condition.  They wanted these toys to go to those children less fortunate, and they wanted these children to experience joy in playing with them that they did.  My two children and I searched the internet and came across Second Chance Toys. We were put in contact with Family Service League of Huntington, Long Island.  The organization was very happy to receive our generous donation.  We hope that these toys will make other children's holiday more special.

 

Thank you again Second Chance Toys!

You could see the expression of delight across the faces of many of the volunteers there, as we brought in the toys. Karen, the director at Community Closet, was most thankful for the generosity of our school each year.
