Toy Rescue Mission

Toy Rescue Mission is committed to the innovative refurbishing and recycling of gently-used toys for disadvantaged children and seniors in care facilities, while providing meaningful volunteer opportunities for the young-at-heart. Once restored, these toys are then donated to our community's needy children and to seniors in nursing homes (having Alzheimer's and Dementia).

Description:
The restored toys are donated to less-fortunate children in battered women's shelters, homeless family shelters, facilities housing emotionally and physically abused children, or to any children known to have a need. Most of our projects do not require any experience or background to restore. We have projects that can be completed at our work site, and projects that can be checked out and completed off-site. Please visit our website (www.toyrescuemission.org) for a complete listing of the volunteer opportunities we offer (see link "Volunteer Projects"). We provide opportunities for school-related internships, community service, individuals and groups!
