Date/Time: Saturday, December 7th, 2-5pm

Location (CHANGE!):   Loop Bar - West End

5331 West 16th Street

St Louis Park, MN 55416


Registration: If coming, please sign up at link below so we know the number of people to plan for food.

Guests: Please feel free to bring a guest and introduce her to our group; register for your guest during sign-up process

Fee: No cost. Funded by the chapter and free to members and invited guests; attendees are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy or gift for a child age 0-14.

 

Charity Details:

The Twin Cities Salvation Army provides toys for thousands of children who may not otherwise receive a Christmas gift. They are one of the largest providers of toys in the area in the area with focus on children 0-14 years old who may not otherwise receive anything at Christmas. Last year, they brought joy to more than 23,000 Twin Cities children. 


All gift donations should be unwrapped; donations will be dropped off at the Salvation Army facility after our gathering. While all gifts for children are welcome and help, the greatest shortage is always for children ages 7-14 (look online if you need guidance for what fits that age group). You may also donate online or provide a check with “Toy Shop” written in the memo line which will then be used to buy the types of gifts they need most.
