We are partnering with Monkey Fish Toys, located in West Chester, Pa. They have a standing 10% discount for all purchases being donated to our Toy Drive! We encourage you to buy locally. As we know, the pandemic effected so much of our local businesses, we want to support where we can! Monkey Fish Toys offers an online catalog as well. Should you choose to buy from them online, please select “local pick up” when completing your order, as well as using the code, “ALHJRDEC2021” to receive your 10% discount! You MUST complete those two tasks in order for us to understand the toys you are purchasing are for our event!
If buying from your home is most convenient for you, we have curated another Amazon Wishlist! The Hicks’ home address has already been added to receive all amazon wishlist orders, so all you need to do is choose the toy you’d like to purchase and then complete your check out!
We understand how busy this holiday season can be. With that being said, we can do the shopping for you! If a financial contribution is most convenient for you, we are happy to send our elves shopping! $150 will sponsor toys for one child, but any amount is appreciated and impactful.
You can give a financial contribution via PayPal, Cash App and Check!
Please send all checks to PO Box 177, Downingtown, PA 19355. You must note “Christmas Toys,” when contributing in order for us to know your donation is for our Toy Drive.
