The event is underway through mid-December
The Store, a free-referral-based grocery store co-founded by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, will host its 2nd Annual Toy Store presented by Edward Jones in mid-December. Through generous donations from sponsors and donors across the US, more than 800 families facing food insecurity and currently supported by the Store, will be able to shop and choose toys for their family. Those attending will be treated to on-site gift wrapping and traditional holiday party festivities for all ages.
“We were so thrilled to see the success of the Toy Store last year. We appreciate the help and support from the community and our partners who worked together to make it a reality,” the Paisleys share. “With this continued generosity our hope is to aid the families we serve with toys every year.”
More than 5000 toys, countless rolls of wrapping paper, tape, bows, and other supplies are needed to ensure these families enjoy a day filled with holiday shopping and dignity. The Store is once again partnering with the First Responders Children’s Foundation to support some of the toys needed for the younger kids, but many needs still exist.
The donation drive launches today and contributions can be made in three ways: purchasing items from the Wish List, donating financially at thestore.org, or volunteering time through the online form. Toys and gift-wrapping supplies may also be purchased and dropped off at The Store by December 11th.
Those contributing will not only provide children with toys but also instill a sense of hope and community spirit during a time when it’s needed the most. We believe together, we can create lasting memories and uplift the spirits of those who need it most.
