Again this year we will be collecting toys to support Cole's Closet, a wonderful organization that helps bring smiles to kids throughout the year who are in the hospital. (read their story below)
Please drop off your NEW, UNWRAPPED toys for infants through teens in the church library between November 26th and December 12th.
Cole’s Closet was created in 2002 by Ellen and Steve Tomczyk after they lost their six-month old son to an undiagnosed disease. The Tomczyk’s spent four months in and out of area hospitals. They witnessed first hand the anxiety and fear families face when a child is hospitalized.
Ellen and Steve wanted to do something to ease their own pain and to help other families in similar situations. They began with a toy drive at a family holiday party one year after Cole passed away. Since then they have donated over 16,000 new toys to area hospitals. The toys are distributed throughout the year to special children like Cole and their siblings.
