TEAM is a nonprofit human services agency serving the Greater Valley and surrounding region. www.teaminc.org
Toy collection events will be hosted at locations around the Valley. First responders will encourage shoppers to purchase an extra toy in the store to donate to a family in need.
TEAM Toys 4 Kids serves nearly 2,000 children annually by setting up a “toy store” where parents and guardians can shop for a few gifts for their little ones. The Valley first responder community is committed to ensuring the shelves are full for parents and every child has a magical holiday season.
Following the collection at each location, first responders will drive all vehicles loaded with toys in a parade through downtown Shelton, ultimately concluding at the TEAM Inc. Toy Store (430 Coram Ave., Shelton).
The parade of vehicles and sirens is sure to draw attention to the cause and celebrate the immense generosity of the Valley community.
After completing our toy collection, TEAM will welcome parents into our Toy Store (Echo Hose Ambulance Training Center in Shelton) to shop for toys for their children. They will be able to choose the toys that best suit their child’s age and interests.
TEAM would also like to thank our major sponsors, M&T Bank, Haynes Group, Tuttle Insurance Group, and Gary’s East Coast Service, for their support in making our program possible this year.
Collections: Dec. 9, 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
