On Wednesday of this week (7/6) a warehouse in Tacoma holding about 25,000 toys and sundries for Toys for Tots burnt down and all was destroyed. One thing you may not know is Toys for Tots is not just for the holiday season, it’s doesn’t provide just toys, and it’s not just for little kids.

Band of Brothers NW, EastlakeCC, and Myself & my husband are trying to help Toys for Tots great group and need. I want to share our idea and hope to accomplish replacing that are needed all year long. One thing you may not know is Toys for Tots is not just for the holiday season, it’s doesn’t provide just toys, and it’s not just for little kids.

So far what we especially need are toys for the older girls and boys, in the 13 to 17 year old range, always seem to end up short. For the girls, Cosmetics in Kits, no single items, curling irons, hair dryers. For the boys, body soaps and after shave in kits, again, no single items. Electric razors, both girls and boys, nail clipper sets in kits. Basically the things that get eliminated when a family's budget is stressed. And the other concern is Infants, like the Fisher Price toys 1 to 5 years old. Again, thank you for your support and feel free to spread the word and help us help Toys for Tots!

We will have a collection point ON SUNDAY, JULY 10 at:

3301 Monte Villa Pkwy Bothell, Washington 98021 @ EastlakeCC
