TOYS FOR JOY AT CHRISTMAS
‘Toys For Joy’ is our annual Christmas campaign, gifting new toys and bringing joy to local families in crisis or financial difficulty. Every year, CARE provides up to 900 children with toys and joy. Professionals in our community - teachers and social workers - are invited to apply on behalf of families in their care and can choose three toys for each child, according to their age and what they would love the most.
“I really do not know how to thank you. This year has been the worst, things have been really hard. I was dreading it, and this help will really make our Christmas now. A weight has been lifted, it will be a happy time instead of a worrying time.”
