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.

    I can’t believe that after four years of doing this, I get goose bumps still! Two years ago we had only 4 partners, and were able to serve 25 families! Last year we had 12 partners and served 86 families. We have 24 partners this year already and we still have over two weeks left before the big event! WOWZERS!!!
