5. Collect new and gently used toys for the Toy Shop! A new endeavor by The Sophia. The Toy Shop will be located in Mesquite and available to any child that needs a toy at that moment in their life- whether it is because of removal from their home, poverty, parental abuse, displacement, or another form of hardship.
