Please help us to make our daily goal (375) plus a new yearly goal of over 3,000. Please don't be one of the people who call me the day after we close down to request toys. That is a request we cannot fill. We can however hand out toys tomorrow and Saturday.
We would like to remind you all that we are getting ready to host our 6th annual free toy give away that will take place December 5 & 6 and December 8 -13. We will be open to the public between the hours of 10 AM until 7 PM daily. We will be closed Sunday Dec 7.
Our event will once again take place at First Christian Church of Tacoma, 602 North Orchard Street, Tacoma, WA 98406. Anyone who hears about us is a part of our community.

When you come to get the toys, we require one thing and only one and that is a big smile. 🙂. We do welcome walk-ins; however, this this year we expect more families needing toys, so we recommend that you sign up to save yourself a spot.
As always, we are in need of volunteers. Several of our clients have voiced to us in years past that they would like to help give out the toys. Now is you chance. Sign up information can be found on our website both to pick up toys and to volunteer. You can certainly be a volunteer and still get toys for your child(ren).

Wow, Can you believe Monday is the first of September. That gives us here at Grampa Bill & Gramma Gail For Everyone less then three months to get things finished for our 6th annual toy give away coming up December 5 & 6 & 8-13. Because we collect new and used toys year round, I often get too busy to post any updates. Let me tell you this year has flown bye . The community donations have been coming in at a steady flow. Three local stores have closed so Gramma has gotten a lot of good deals on new toys. Grampa and Gramma started doing a monthly event at the Outlet Mall promoting our up coming Toy Give away in March. And between all that, we have both been ill. I want to take a moment now to tell you what lies ahead for us and you, our families we love to help each year. Tomorrow August 30th and Sunday August 31 we will be out at the McMillin Farm, taking part in the Luau In The Valley 2025. On Sunday August 31, prior to the Luau, there will be a free Public Resource Community Give Away from 8 AM until 11 AM. They will be giving away groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables and more. Please come by and say hello, we would love to see you.

In September, October and MAYBE November you will find us back at the Outlet Mall in Auburn. More information about times and dates will be posted soon.

I would like to remind you that we are in dire need of volunteers. If you have any time on your hands and would like to lend us a hand volunteering, we can use you. We have toys to process and get ready for new homes. Please contact
Carolina at [email protected] if you would like to volunteer.
In case you are wondering, yes, you can be a volunteer and still get toys for your littles.

Hi everyone. I want to take a few minutes to update you on what has been happening since our annual toy give away in December of 2024. We had a fabulous event giving away four gifts to 2,884 children from 901 families. This year will be our third year of trying to reach over 3,000 children. We have our dates set for this year as December 5 & 6 & December 8-13. We will once again be doing our event at First Christian Of Tacoma. More information will be coming along shortly. Time is going by so fast. We have been working hard every day on this event. Grampa and I, and Our board members are very busy throughout the year collecting and processing new and used toys. One thing we are always in need of is volunteers. Please let us know if you would like to volunteer some time. Send us your name and e-mail address and our volunteer coordinator, Carolina will get back to you. I will try to get on here a little more often to post updates.
