Redistributing toys from one family to another in our community. ❤️
This project was started back in 2024 to help reimagine holiday shopping. If you are looking to find affordable (free!) toy gifts, reduce consumerism and waste for the betterment of the planet, or just want your gently used toys to go towards making a child happy this holiday season, we're here for you!
We are working to collect and redistribute quality used toys in our community. Donations are being accepted Nov 1 through Dec 10. The Iowa City Holiday Toy Redistribution Project is presented by Antelope Lending Library, The LENA Project, and is headed by local social justice advocate Anne Ventullo. Huge thanks to support provided by CommUnity and Velvet Lotus Tattoo.
