St. Joseph's Family Toy Drive
Please consider for a moment the plight of families who may be forced to purchase basic necessities, instead of toys, for their children this Christmas. We all know that times are particularly difficult for many families and it is often a blessing to have an opportunity to reach out and help those in need. We are hopeful to raise enough money to purchase toys for 1000 families in our community and spread the holiday spirit.
It has been the tradition of St. Joseph Family’s Center to deliver Christmas toys to the families they serve in our community. Unfortunately, budgetary constraints have made it very difficult for them to adequately provide for every family. This creates a wonderful opportunity for our community members to help support our toy drive and we hope this will become a tradition of cooperation and giving in partnership with SJFC.
We would like you to consider helping us fulfill the needs of our friends. On behalf of the Gilroy community, we would like you to help us reach our goal of $2500. Monetary donations are a great way to give because it enables us to further participate in the spirit of giving. We will purchase toys on your behalf within our community under the guidance of St. Joseph Family Center. All funds will be used to purchase toys for the drive and all toys collected and purchased will be distributed within our community.
If you are unable to assist monetarily and would like to drop off a new unwrapped toy, the following locations are as follows:
Kaiser Gilroy
Gilroy Fire Departments at the following locations:
Sunrise, Chestnut and Las Animas Stations
Gilroy Police Department
Kaiser San Jose ER
