Christmas Toy Store:
During the annual Christmas Toy Store, low-income families residing in the 37203 and 37208 service area are given an opportunity to provide toys and other gifts for their children. The Toy Store set up allows parents to maintain a sense of accomplishment and dignity by offering them a chance to come, pick out their gifts, and wrap them at home. The Toy Store helps bring joy and laughter to children who may not other wise have any toys for Christmas. Participants sign up two to three months prior to the store opening. The Toy Store is usually open during the second or third week in December. To donate, get exact dates or more information, please contact Valerie Marlowe at (615) 329-3386 extension 106.
