OAR (Offender Aid and Restoration) is hosting our Annual Toy Drive, beginning October 8 through December 7, to collect new, donated toys and gifts for children of parents who are incarcerated locally. These gifts are given to the children, ages newborn to 18 years, in December as a part of OAR’s Project Christmas Angel. OAR does this in an effort to bridge the gap between those involved in the criminal justice system and their children, as these relationships are often strained and challenged during and after incarceration.
If you would like to volunteer your business as a Donation Box drop off site, please contact Heather Pritchett at 703-228-7435 or email her at hpritchett@oaronline.org.
What kinds of toys can be donated?
Donated toys and gifts should be new and unwrapped and appropriate for children ages newborn to 18. OAR does not accept donations of clothing or stuffed animals. We especially need gifts for teens, as most of the children eligible to receive gifts are between the ages of 12 and 18.
How/Where can you donate?
