World Vision Requests More Toys for U.S. Children in Need

Organize A Toy Drive with Your Company, School or Church



Seattle, WA, November 1, 2006-To help bring Christmas joy to U.S. children in need, World Vision is urging companies, schools and churches to collect and donate new toys to any of World Vision’s eleven storehouses in the United States.

“We want to share Christmas joy with as many children as possible this season,” said Keith Neroutsos, national director of World Vision’s Storehouses nationwide. “New toys that are donated help families restore dignity and celebrate in a way that used supplies cannot.”

The items will be provided to local organizations whose staff and volunteers are dedicated to children and families within their local communities. World Vision’s Storehouses help meet basic needs for children and families by offering donated, high-quality goods to revitalize neighborhoods and sustain families.
