About Sammie's Toy Drive
Sammie's Toy Drive is a specialized toy drive for communities struck with tragedies affecting kids and teens. Instead of sending items to the community at ground zero, we deliver the items once people have forgotten. News patterns do not match with the stages of grief. Our mission is to spread love and support to those who have been through tragedy by providing them with toys and games that can help them feel loved and supported
Our Process
We have a simple process to ensure that your contributions reach the communities that need them the most. First, you can browse our website to learn more about our mission and the different ways you can support us. Then, you can make a donation online through our Amazon wishlist or financial support, or contact us to arrange an in-person drop-off. We will then collect and sort the toys and other donations and deliver them to the communities in need.
Types of Contributions
We accept donations of new and gently used toys, other items and games for kids and teens. You can also support us by making a financial contribution, which will help us to purchase specific items needed and expand our reach to more communities in need.
