where to donate new toys

Submitted by unhpian t3_zq9ozl in RhodeIsland

I have a bunch of brand new kids toys I want to donate before Christmas...preferably to underprivileged children, and not to an organization that will re-sell them....however am having a hard time finding any kind of drop-off box. Toys for Tots website doesn't list any drop-off locations. Anyone know any drop-off locations? I'm in south county...but willing to travel

Toys for tots has a drop off box at the Cardi's Furniture in West Warwick. Inside towards the front middle of the store.

I wonder if the Jonny cake center would know?

Smaller organizations won’t have drop off boxes, so that may be why you’re having a problem. I would organizations like Sojurner House or McAuley House would be happy to accept them.

Crossroads homeless shelter has a family shelter with kids, I’m sure they could use them
