Toy Drive Summer 2024
This summer, the Military Ministry will be collecting toys for children hospitalized at Walter Reed Military Medical Center.
Children are transferred to Walter Reed from around the country, and the Red Cross collects toys to help make their hospital stays less traumatizing. This year, they’ve asked us to help in their Toy Drive; the list of requested toys is below. All toys must be new, and can be brought to the church beginning on July 7. There will be marked boxes outside the sanctuary and downstairs near Stone Fellowship Hall. We will complete our collection on Sunday, September 1!
