Opportunity Details... 2009 thru 2012 Gift Of Giving Toy Drive

We need you to help support the 2009 through 2012 Gift Of Giving Toy Drive. The Gift Of Giving New Toys For Needy Children is a seasonal project implemented to provide needy children in the state of Michigan with new toys to be placed under their Christmas tree during the holidays. The Gift Of Giving Toy Drive collects new toys annually and helps support The Gift Of Giving New Toys For Needy Children Program. The program mission is to give underprivileged and underserved children the opportunity to receive new toys on Christmas Day, since 93% of households in metropolitan Detroit, Michigan live at or below the poverty-rate.
During the time frame of the following years, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 our organization will be providing new toys for over 20,000 economically disadvantaged children for these consecutive years. The program will serve homeless children residing in The Gift Of A Helping Hand Emergency Shelter and other homeless shelters throughout metropolitan Detroit, Michigan and other Wayne counties.
At least 60% of the homeless population is single mothers with children and 0.4% of the homeless population is single mother leaving out of domestic violence situations. 48% of the poverty-stricken in Wayne county, Michigan is children. Without your support these needy children will not have toys for Christmas Day. We need your assistance and support in providing toys for needy children for the holidays.
The program will provide new toys for other underprivileged children residing in homeless shelters in southeastern Michigan including Wayne, Macomb, Monroe and Oakland counties. The program will give low-income daycare centers, head start programs, and Afterschool programs the opportunity to receive new toys to distribute to low-income children residing at their facilities.
So help us and make a monetary donation and/or in-kind donation of gift cards and/or toys to help bring a smile on a needy child's face on Christmas Day and throughout the year.
