Free Toy Giveaway Today at Catholic Charities

Catholic Charities knows that things have been difficult for everyone over the last few months and they want to spread a little joy! The organization has partnered with Good360 and Toys for Tots to help provide Toys and Games to children and families in need during COVID19 to help keep the kiddos occupied!

The Drive-Thru will open today, Thursday May 14 at 11am in the Center for Hope parking lot at 812 Root Street, Flint. Toys will be handed out until 1pm or until they run out of toys!

“This last few months have been rough for people emotionally as well as financially,” says Vicky Schultz, CEO, “Our clients become like family to us and with all of the stress and anxiety that COVID19 has created, we thought it was time for a little fun!”

The toys have been supplied by Good360, a national nonprofit based in the Washington, DC area and is the global leader in product philanthropy. Together with Toys for Tots they have provided hundreds of toys for us to distribute to the community!
