OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide 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 and repurposing toys promotes the conservation of resources in 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.
In 2023, our toy lending libraries circulated 22,000 toys and games, providing joy and learning opportunities for children and teens in our communities. By 2024, we had significantly expanded our reach, circulating 70,000 toys and games.
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.
