HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP THIS YEAR WITH TOYS FOR TOY JOY!
The Toy Joy team is hard at work preparing for the event on November 16, and as always, we rely on our church family and friends to make this special day happen for our guests. We are planning to serve around 300 families—up to 1000 children—again this year. Links to our Amazon, Target, and Walmart wish lists can be found below. We're happy to shop for you if you'd like to make a monetary donation instead you may use any of the church giving platforms (CLICK HERE) or if you write a check, make it payable to First Baptist and put "Toy Joy" in the memo line).
