Hope for New York

His Toy Store is Hope for New York's outreach to provide toys to families in deep financial need during the Christmas season. Through this program, families in need often make a lasting connection to local churches, where they can find a year-round spiritual family.

Our goal this year is to provide 4,000 toys to local families! 

From November 4 through December 2, we are receiving new donated toys from our partner churches.

Then, on two Saturdays in December, we will work with nine NYC churches in low-income neighborhoods to host His Toy Stores. This year, we're inviting more than 1,000 families to "shop" for their children at virtually no cost!

Donate a Toy

We are no longer accepting toys for His Toy Store 2012.

Toys should be in the $15-25 range for kids up to 12 years old

Drop off toys on Nov. 4, 11, 18, 25 or Dec. 2 at the Christmas Tables at any Redeemer Presbyterian Church or Apostles Church service. 

Send a toy straight to our office! Use our Amazon Wishlist to purchase and send, or send any toys directly to 1359 Broadway, Suite 410, NY, NY, 10023.
