2024 Holiday Toy Distribution

Each year, Peace Neighborhood Center provides hundreds of families in need with special assistance for the Holidays through a Toy Distribution.

This Holiday season, we are hoping to help some 300+ households in need, who will be able to “shop” for their families  at Peace’s main facility from Friday, December 20th through Monday, December 23rd by appointment only.

 

Two Ways to Help

Thanks to our community’s generosity, Peace’s Annual Toy Drive helps hundreds in our community enjoy the Holiday Season!

 

1. Purchase Gifts or Gift Cards

Between now and Friday, December 20th, Peace is accepting toys and gift card donations at our main facility at 1111 North Maple Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48103; Monday –  Friday: 9am – 6pm: 

  • Purchase items from our Amazon Wish List — which can be accessed here! Any selections you make will be shipped directly to Peace.
  • To shop locally, please use Peace’s holiday gift list, which provides guidance on specific gifts. Gifts should be unwrapped and dropped off to Peace at 1111 N Maple Road, Ann Arbor MI 48103.
  • Donate gift cards: In addition to toys, Peace also provides special gift cards to offer families the greatest flexibility.
    We accept donations of between $25-$100 from the following stores: Meijer, Target, Kroger, Aldi, Dunhams, Burlington, Old Navy, Master Card, Visa, Dicks, Kohls, Walmart.
    Physical gift cards only please, no e-gift cards. Please send the gift card(s) directly to Peace Neighborhood Center, or you may drop them off in person Monday through Friday 9-5 at 1111 N Maple Road, Ann Arbor MI 48103.

We ask that all above contributions be delivered by Dec. 20 at the latest.
And we can accept gift contributions throughout the season if you’re not able to make your contribution by 12/20.

 

2. Volunteer

Community volunteers can also help Peace organize gifts (Wednesday, Dec 19th) and/or help families shop during the Toy Distribution (Friday, Dec 20th – Monday, Dec 23rd). 

Please reference our sign-up sheet here to choose from available time slots.
