Kohl's Really Cares!

Kohl's Associate in Action showed their support at the Comcast Center in Philadelphia to celebrate Earth Week. Through the Kohl's Cares program over 6,000 toys were collected and donated to deserving children from Head Starts in the region.

We can't thank Kohl's Cares enough for their dedication to our mission and support with a generous grant to help us continue growing in order to serve more children.

Thanks to Chris Canty for Turning Our Donation Into a Big Apple Event.

Chris Canty of the NY Giants joined the Second Chance Toys including Sasha Lipton (founder) with the NYC team, Jocelyn and Alan Goldberg in a donation of over 500 toys collected at NY Kids Clubs in celebration of Earth Week. Toys were generously transported by our valued supporter, 1-800-Got-Junk?
