🧸 What is a Toy Rescue?
A Toy Rescue is a community toy swap experience where families can:
✨ Bring gently used, outgrown toys (optional)
✨ Place them on our shared community table
✨ Let kids choose “new-to-them” toys to take home and enjoy
No money. No selling. No stress.
Just a simple, joyful way to keep toys in play and out of landfills.
🌱 Why It Matters
Did you know that most toys are used for a short time and then thrown away?
At Toy Rescue events, we’re:
♻️ Extending the life of toys
🌎 Reducing waste in our community
💸 Helping families save money on kids’ items
🧠 Encouraging creativity, sharing, and imagination
Every toy rescued = one less toy headed to a landfill.
