OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide free access to high-quality, age-appropriate toys and games to promote play. By establishing toy lending libraries and play spaces, we seek to enhance the development, creativity, and learning of children and teens.
Our vision is for every community to have a toy lending library.
OUR VISION
COMMUNITY IMPACT
We believe that these are the positive impacts for our diverse communities:
-
Educational: The toy lending library offers opportunities for free play which has been shown to enhance reading, math, and science skills.
-
Environmental: Reusing toys promotes conservation of resources within the community.
-
Financial: Toy sharing eases the economic burden on families.
-
Social: The toy lending library provides a communal space for children and teens to select and share toys.
HOW DO WE KNOW WE ARE SUCCESSFUL?
In 2023, our toy lending libraries shared 22,000 toys and games with children and teens in our communities. By 2024, that number grew to 70,000, expanding joy, learning, and play even further.
With your support, we can continue to create toy lending libraries. Your contribution goes directly to establishing these libraries, which provide children, teens, and families with access to resources for play and learning.
