The Community Toy Store is a place designed to serve families that are having a difficult time financially during the Christmas season. We take brand new toys, clothes, and gift cards and sell them at least 75% off the original price to families in need. All money raised is then donated to Rebound of Whatcom County and The Whatcom Dream, organizations working to break the cycle of poverty and supporting families. The philosophy is simple, we want to offer a hand up in place of a hand out, helping to preserve the Christmas spirit and the dignity of parents during tough times. We also offer free gift wrapping and childcare while the parent(s) shop.

    Northwest Baptist Church College Group is eager to volunteer on Friday 11th to help transport toys and help set up the store. We are still unsure of how to sign up fully for this opportunity, any additional help in doing so would be greatly appreciated.
