A Valley tradition

 

TEAM: Toys 4 Kids serves 1,959 local children in December

The numbers are in!

Drumroll, please... TEAM Toys 4 Kids served *1,959 children* right here in our community over the holidays! That's a lot of happy kids and families.

Parents and caregivers were so grateful to be able to pick out special toys for their kids and make magical holiday memories together, rather than stressing over the cost of the season.

Toys 4 Kids really makes a difference - and its success is truly a testament to what our community can do when we come together.

THANK YOU to all of our sponsors, volunteers, and neighbors who pitched in to Make Magic Happen.

TEAM, Inc. to kick off Toys 4 Kids 2022 at Stappa Vineyard in Orange

It's Christmas in July!!!

Please join TEAM's Magic Makers Committee for a very special kickoff event for Toys 4 Kids 2022.

As budgets are getting stretched to the brink, parents and caregivers are facing tougher and tougher choices. 

Last year, our Toys 4 Kids program served a record number of children - 1,920 - which was a 16% increase from just one year before. We know that this year, inflation has skyrocketed and basic needs like food, gas, and home heating fuel are becoming more difficult for hard-working families to afford. 

Our Magic Makers are committed to ensuring children do not have to feel these stressors. Children should be able to feel the joy and magic of the holiday season, and parents should not have to face the difficult choice between paying the bills and providing holiday toys and magic for their child.

As we are expecting an increased number of families applying for our Toys 4 Kids 2022 holiday program, we are beginning our fundraising earlier than ever.

Please join us at Stappa Vineyard on July 27 for a Christmas in July celebration! Bring a toy (or two or more!) and enjoy a glass of wine with our Magic Makers Committee. The first 15 people to bring a toy will receive a free drink ticket!

Let's get ready to #MakeMagicHappen!
