1,200 Coats & 1,200 Toys for Delaware Children

We are pleased to announce our Fifth Annual Winter Wonderland Community Resource Fairs/Holiday Coat & Toy Drives for kids and families. Right now, over 35,000 children are living in an environment where their basic needs are not met. Children living in shelters, children experiencing poverty, and children in foster care will not be forgotten during the holidays. Your generous donation would help ease this burden on those families this holiday season. Your contribution will help ensure a new coat and a new toy is given to school-aged children between 3 and 18 years old. We need your help reaching our goal to provide 1,200 coats and 1,200 holiday toys to kids during our statewide holiday events.

1,200 Coats & 1,200 Toys for Delaware Children

Right now, in Delaware, 18.93% of children under 18 are living in poverty. That means 34,000 children are living in an environment where many of their basic needs are not being met.

Children living in shelters, children experiencing poverty, and children in foster care must not be forgotten during the holidays.

Your generous donation would help ease this burden on those families this holiday season. Your contribution will help ensure a new coat and a new toy is given to our most vulnerable children. We need your help reaching our goal to provide 1,200 coats and 1,200 holiday toys to children during our holiday events in Delaware and Salem County, NJ.
