We are looking for local businesses that would like to partner with Cruise 4 Kids and make their business a drop off location for unwrapped gifts as well. We will provide decorated bins with signage and pick-up bin on December 16th.

While there are many lists of popular toys for kids of all ages, there is no donation wish list. Popular toy categories include sporting equipment, books, backpacks, board games, radio control cars/trucks, hand-held electronics, and skateboards/helmets. Do not give toys that look like realistic weapons or food items.

HOSTING A DROP-OFF LOCATION

You can host your own drop-off location at your workplace or community location. C4K will provide you a decorated bin and will arrange pick up on the 16th of December. Encourage friends to stop by and donate an unwrapped toy. You can even make it a part of an upcoming holiday gathering or a birthday party. Contact Nino Venturella about hosting a drop off location and arranging a bin for your location.

VOLUNTEERING YOUR TIME AND RESOURCES

We benefit from people who volunteer their time to help the organization. For instance, you can volunteer to sort toys, or you can drop off signage and collection bins at retail locations. In addition, we often needs restaurants and individuals to donate food for volunteers.
