The Toy Man Product Guide - Q3 Top 10 Award

PROJECT: Education Outreach™

Helping Hands for Kids™

The objective of this program is to fulfill important needs in education and personal growth for kids by way of an ongoing curriculum based program. To be more specific, a program where kids are motivated to learn while earning points to receive rewards.

Over the Holidays Toys for Tots has its value during this time each year, yet due to economy issues today, what can be provided is rather limited. It is our desire to fulfill the the need more effectively at these facilities this year.

Helping Hands for Kids will debut starting 16 December, 2010 with four Boy & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard & Port Hueneme over the Holidays.

As a preface to the incredible new year to come for these kids, we will be providing toys, games, and other gifts that will make the Holidays even more special this year...but that's just the beginning! Helping Hands for Kids will also provide the facilities with a variety of products that will be used in an ongoing curriculum to help the kids to learn and have fun doing it.

Request For Donations

To help make this event special, we are requesting donations to help provide for the kids at these facilities and make their Holidays a little brighter. We will be serving kids from pre-school age to teens. Toys, games, educational products, CD's, DVD's dolls, and even apparel will be accepted. Products for use in the ongoing educational curriculum are welcome as well.

Should you choose to make a donation to support our effort, please make sure the donation is unwrapped for obvious reasons. You have the option of delivery directly to PROJECT: Education Outreach or the Boys & Girls Club facilities directly. For further information for shipping or any questions you may have, please call 646.875.4541 or use our Contact Form.

* All four facilities are 501(c)3 qualified and all donations will be tax deductible.
