It's That Time of Year Again!
Summer flew by and it’s already September! Second Chance Toys has been busy planning our 2014 Holiday Toy Collection.
Now is the perfect time to start thinking about your own SCT holiday collection with the help of your teachers, classmates, friends, family, neighbors and colleagues.
Are you a teacher or part of the PTA at your child’s school? We have had a ton of success when working together with parents to collect gently used plastic toys and then donating them to local kids in need. We can provide you with morning announcements and flyers to help get the word out. Depending on your local assigned recipient, you might even be able to bring your kids along when you deliver your donations so they are able to witness the impact they are making.
Does your company hold holiday volunteer initiatives that give back to the community? Second Chance Toys is a perfect partner for team building toy collections and we will provide you with all of the resources to make your event fun and successful. It’s never too early to get your coworkers excited about SCT!
If you’re in one of our major metro areas and you open your collection up to the community, you can post your information on our website under drop-off locations so local donors are able to find you and drop their toys off.
Not in one of our metro areas and want to be open to the public? No problem! Email us and we can help you promote by posting your event details on social media for our followers.
We encourage all volunteers, from individuals to large groups, to consider holding your own SCT gently used plastic toy collection so that you can do your part in making sure every child has a toy this holiday season. On top of the smiles your toy donations will bring, you’ll be helping the environment at the very same time by keeping the non-biodegradable plastics out of landfills.
As described perfectly by one of our amazing corporate sponsors, “Second Chance Toys is loved recycled, who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?”
