About the Project
It all started 14 years ago when a little boy got sick. The hospital can be a scary place and for first-time parents who had never been in the hospital for an extended period of time, the experience was overwhelming and difficult. The one thing that helped them through the process was the Child Life Department at the hospital. Each day the group would bring toys, movies, and always a big smile. What the family soon realized was that the child life department was not only serving the entire hospital with virtually no funding, they also primarily operated on a volunteer basis. Their kindness turned into organized niceness and the toy drive was born.
What started years ago after a commitment by one family to support the child life department at a local hospital that had been so amazing during a difficult time, has turned into a project that benefits hundreds of children each year.
This year we’re looking to support more kids than ever! We’re raising money (and collecting toys) to provide gifts such as toys, games, books, movies, gift cards, tablets that will be delivered to local children’s hospitals and homeless shelters in time for Christmas.
Your support will help put a smile on dozens of kids’ faces as they wake up to an unexpected gift (which makes their parents pretty happy too).
Project Impact
This year we will be making donations to the following organizations:
- Children’s Center, Sutter Medical Center
- Children’s Hospital, UC Davis Health
- Kaiser Roseville Children’s Hospital
- Acres of Hope
- Wind Youth Services
Your contributions are about so much more than making a donation. They’re about putting a smile on a child’s face, spreading niceness, and providing hope to a family in need. Everyone deserves to have a happy Christmas, which is why we look to people like you to help make sure that happens.
