Voices For Children Foundation Annual Holiday

 

Our magical toy drive starts in July as we harness our reindeer, speak to our dedicated sponsors and prepare our volunteers for the busy season. Voices For Children Foundation (Voices) has been collecting toys for children in foster/relative care for the last 25 years. For the last ten years, under the direction of Annabel (Bunchy) Gertner, we have worked to secure gifts, toys, and certificates for more than 4,100 foster care children in Miami-Dade County. Volunteers meet to shop, sort, label, and wrap all donated toys. We have over 75 sponsors that purchase and deliver toy donations to our North Pole location, a space generously donated by our friends at the Village of Merrick Park.  Seven agencies, under the direction of OUR KIDS, send all available elves to pick up and distribute these toys to every child in foster/relative care.

For the last two years, we have also secured gifts for over 600 children aging out of the foster care system, children who will live independently for the first time in their lives.

Here's how YOU can help put a smile on the face of a child this season:
