Toy Store

Parents can choose a toy, book, stuffed animal, and family board game for each child, relieving financial stress during a time when essentials still take priority. Toy Store unites the community, ensuring all children can enjoy the holidays. This year’s Toy Store runs from December 12th to 14th. Looking to help? You can host your own toy drive, and our toolkit makes it easy to get started with ideas, needed toys, and promotional materials.

Virtual Food Drive
P2P is providing more food than ever before, in part due to the economic toll the pandemic has had on so many of our neighbors. In the 12 months after the pandemic started, P2P distributed 71% more groceries than the previous 12 months. Help P2P get food where it needs to be, with a gift to our food program. Thank you.
