Toy Box Connection Mission
There is a world of children that do not have toys or books; with your help we can change that. Toy Box Connection (TBC) will be the connection between families and businesses that have new or used toys / books to donate then we will directly connect those toys / books to the children that need them. Our organization is the missing link in communities. We are simply the jumper cables connecting those that have with those that need. Our primary goal is to touch the life of a child through the gift of a toy/book as well as a day of fun every chance we get. Need has no season so we will connect toys, books, many other needed items as well as provide days of fun throughout the entire year.
