The 2024 Toys Ahoy Toy Drive is here! We are gathering “unwrapped” toys/gifts in the coming weeks and then plan on bringing them to our club Christmas Dinner on December 7, 2024. If you are unable to attend the club Christmas Dinner, you can still participate and send your gifts to Barbara Carver and we can then bring them to the dinner on your behalf. We will then take all of the donated gifts over to the Family Resource Center on Sunday December 8, 2024.

Ages this year are majority 12+ approximately 40 youth in total, up to age 18.

HOW TO:

Select a gift in our “Ship’s Store”, click the “Add to Cart” button, then click the “Checkout” button on bottom right, click the “Place Order” button. This now means you are reserving this as your gift, and will purchase it online or at a store of your preference. There will not be a charge as it is a $0.00 dollar amount, this just gives us a tracking record of what will be purchased off the LIFRC list. If an item shows “Out of Stock” that means one of our members has already committed to this item, some items can be committed to multiple times before it will show “Out of Stock”.
