Toys For Shots

01/03/2022

Now that the Holidays are over CLE Cares, Inc and your friends at Toys for Shots would like to thank everyone who was involved with our local toy drive this holiday season.
We were able to donate close to 500 toys directly to families within the city of Maple Heights !!
The pics below are from the Maple Hts Board of Education who were amazing partners this year. They took every single toy, separated them by age group and ensured they made it directly to Maple Hts families.

A special thank you as well to our drop-off locations and other partners:

Northeast Factory Direct
Novak’s Flowers
Primm Insurance - State Farm

Toys for Shots, your favorite Holiday Party is forced to unfortunately take another year off from our exciting annual event. Venue availability as well as other difficulties the last two years have forced us to put this Cleveland mainstay on-hold for another holiday season.

This year however we are still collecting New, Unwrapped Toys for the children of Greater Cleveland. More specifically, children and families in need within the city of Maple Heights.

Maple Hts. Is the hometown of our founding members at CLE Cares, Inc. We are extremely excited to be donating all the toys directly to local families within this great city that holds such a special place in our hearts.

Please see the multiple drop-off locations detailed below so you can drop off your toy today. We look forward to your continued support and participation. We’ll see everyone again next year. Have a great holiday season!

Thank you so much,

CLE Cares, Inc.
