American Giving Project / Toys of Hope Loves YOU!

• The Mission of American Giving Project/Toys of Hope is to provide toys, books, clothing and other items to needy and homeless children and their families. The guiding principal behind our mission is that all children, regardless of financial status, race, religion or nationality, are deserving of those things which can help give them a happier and more fulfilling life. A new toy can mean everything to a needy or homeless child. It provides fun and enjoyment and gives a child a sense of pride in having something of their very own. American Giving Project provides necessary assistance and help to needy families year round.
