Nate's Toy Box

Nate's Toy Box Nate's Toy Box provides toys at Christmas and other items during the year that enhance and enrich the lives of children in the local school district area.

Nate's Toy Box was created in memory of Nathan Schroeder, who was killed in an automobile accident in 2005 at age 28. Among Nate's many great qualities were his love for children, love of reading and his never ending love of toys. From that love, Nate's Toy Box was born and each year it has brought joy and smiles to hundreds of children. Since it was created in 2006, Nate’s Toy Box, as a ministry

of White Oak Christian Church, provides toys and comfort items at Christmas and throughout the year to children of families experiencing hardships, crisis situations and difficult times. Partnering with S.O.N. (Serving Our Neighbors) Ministries food pantry, Northwest Local School District, local police, fire and EMS, families in need are identified. Businesses, churches, and individuals provide toys, games, books, blankets and comfort items for the children to provide hope, joy and excitement when it is most needed. Nate’s Toy Box is dedicated to enriching the lives of local children and helping to ensure a positive childhood experience. Beginning in 2016, age appropriate books have been provided as part of a literacy initiative to get quality, positive books into the hands of children. Joining efforts with the Northwest Local School District, S.O.N. Ministries, Clippard Family YMCA, Side by Side Ministry and a collaboration of churches and businesses in our area, children are blessed in ways that otherwise may not have been possible.

It was another incredible year for our holiday toy distribution!

So many groups, teams and community partners made it possible to serve 222 families (682 children). They donated toys, sorted and organized, baked cookies, set up and tore down, helped families to choose toys and books, carried heavy bags, prayed with people and so much more.

The generosity shown by our community in Nate’s memory continues to amaze us!

For our friends helping to sort and organize toys today, that has been delayed until 1:00 in order to allow the church lot to be plowed and made safe for all. While that timing may not work for everyone, we thank you for your understanding and flexibility!
