When it comes to making life easier for our neighbors, especially in times like these, the South Orange/Maplewood community is extraordinary. Now in its 24th year, the South Orange Maplewood School District’s Parenting Center Annual Holiday Toy Drive provides holiday gifts for children in our school district. Last year our toy drive benefitted over 500 children in 160 families in our two communities. And each year we count on all of you to help us bring the spirit of the holidays to our entire community so we can share in the joyous celebrations that mark this time of year.

Due to the continuation of safety precautions due to COVID-19, we will not be able to accept donations of toys this year. This year we are asking you to help us through our GoFundMe effort. Every parent will receive gift cards and they will be able to buy their child gifts. Your tax-deductible gift will allow us to purchase gift cards and distribute them to our families. Despite the hardships the coronavirus has caused, we can still continue to ensure all our MAPSO families feel the holiday love-join us and give ASAP!

Rest assured, 100% of the money donated will be used to buy gift cards to distribute to our families.

On behalf of the South Orange Maplewood School District Parenting Center, we offer our heartfelt thanks for your generosity. As always, MAPSO makes the best neighbors!

We hope this holiday season is your best, and that you all remain safe.
