Frequently asked questions

Can I donate money?

Monetary donations are always appreciated.  We use the money to buy new toys as well as batteries, packaging, tape, and cleaning supplies.

When is the best time to donate?

The best time is as soon as the shop opens for the season -- November 14 for this year.  We have limited storage facilities, so can accept donations year-round.

When is the worst time to donate?

The worst time is just before Christmas.  Donations during the last week of distribution -- December 11 this year -- likely won't have time to be cleaned, packaged, and distributed this season.

Can I get a receipt for tax deduction purposes?

Yes, just ask at the shop when you drop off the donation.
