Anyone know where to get free Christmas Toys for needy kids?

Someone I am acquainted with who lives in Glen Cove is wondering where she can get a few free toys for her kids for Christmas. She has been laid off of her job and has fallen on hard times. I live in NJ and told her I'd check here on the boards and get back to her.

Anyone know?

try contacting the John Thiessen fund in Wantagh. I have been donating toys to him for years. I believe it is mainly for children who are sick and in hospitals on LI, but maybe they could help and/or give you some good leads.

I have to tell you, find independent store owners and just ask.

I have scored big time by doing this.
I emailed out local companies explaining there is a family in need.
I have received free art classes, gym classes, over 150.00 worth of toys, hair cut, clothes and shoes for a little girl.
clothes for the mom.

still working on movie tickets.
the worse they can do is say no, but i have found they are so happy to help.

good luck!

John thiessen has gotten so big he def might be able to help. He is listed.
Do u have ages of the kids? the sexes?

also..the schools do things and they keep it quiet.

How old are they? Genders? I only have baby stuff but if that fits the bill...

I feel like b/c of what happened with that other thread everyone is afraid to offer- but I bet a few ladies around here would love to clean house of a few unwanted toys.
