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.

Well here we are, 10 days away from the Community Toy Store! I continue to be amazed at what the community is doing through this event. We now have 30 Partners! We have organizations from every niche possible helping out. We have banks, coffee shops, big retailers, little retailers, small businesses, a school district, churches, the Police Department etc.

It is amazing. What a blessing this is going to be for so many families and so many children.

Thanks for being a part of this movement.
