Edwards Toy Drive
Delivering Joy & Hope: The Edwards Toy Drive
For the past 10+ years, Together Let’s Rise has proudly partnered with Exposed Youth to host the annual Edwards Toy Drive. This initiative is a powerful symbol of community and care, specifically dedicated to uplifting system-impacted and unhoused youth during the holiday season.
Our Impact at a Glance
- 10+ Years of dedicated community partnership and giving back.
- 5,000+ Toys distributed directly to children and youth in need.
- Countless Smiles created through a day dedicated entirely to their joy and empowerment.
More Than Just a Gift
While the toys are a beautiful part of the event, the true impact goes far beyond distribution. The Edwards Toy Drive is an immersive experience designed to make our youth feel seen, special, and celebrated.
The day is packed with engaging games, uplifting activities, and safe spaces that allow kids to simply be kids. It serves as both a holiday gift-giving initiative and a vital day of recognition for the young individuals we support.
The Edwards Toy Drive continues to be a powerful symbol of community, care, and hope for those who need it most.
