We are so grateful to the Lean on Me Foundation for having this Christmas toy drive to benefit the children that we serve!

🎅✨ Santa’s Helpers, We Need You! ✨🎅

The Lean on Me Foundation is thrilled to bring back our annual holiday drive — and this year, we’re spreading Christmas magic by partnering with Friends of Lucas County Children Services!

Friends of LCCS is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to supporting children and families connected to Lucas County Children Services and raising awareness about the need for foster and adoptive homes.

🎁 This year’s drive will be a Toy Drive! Every donated toy will go directly to Friends of LCCS to help provide gifts for their annual Zoo Holiday Dinner.

🎄 How You Can Make a Difference:
• All toys MUST be purchased brand new!
• Gifts can be for any age or gender.
• Suggested price: $10–$20.
• Teen gift cards (up to $20) are welcome.

With your participation, our goal is to spread joy, give love, and remind a child they matter.

📍 Toy Drop-Off Details:
Saturday, November 22nd
10 AM – 2 PM
The Standard Restaurant — Monroe St.

This is your moment to give back. One toy. One act of kindness. One child whose holiday becomes a little brighter because of you.
