Christmas Year Around
For the Toy Lending Library of SD to continue to offer
beautiful
educational toy boxes
free of charge,
it needs the help of community members like you.
We do toy drives to collect toys and books,
we write for grants and
partner with other nonprofits to create more toy boxes but
we really need support to operations.
Our STAR team:
​
-
builds,
-
checks,
-
maintains,
-
repairs,
-
creates,
-
processes,
-
cleans and sanitizes
-
inspects and closes
-
prepares,
-
coordinates
-
and much much more.
Toy boxes need to be FREE to allow everyone the opportunity to
learn through play and
they need to be CLEAN
The Toy Lending Library of SD cleans and sanitizes ALL toy boxes,
even the brand new ones!
Toy box circulation
continues to increase
In 2024, 9779 toy boxes were checked out/
renewed!
That's the number of toy boxes that were cleaned and sanitized.
​
To clean and sanitize the toy boxes we trust an incredible team:
-4 part-time employees,
-2 part-time NICOA workers, and
-many wonderful volunteers.
It all starts with our
AWESOME Toy Curator
part-time Santa
Greg creates our toy boxes, inventories the toys and books, creates the beautiful labels,
repairs the toy boxes and,
keeps the office merry with his smile :)
Hello!
I'm Anelis, the Executive Director.
2024 marks the first year that we have
6 part-time employees, including me!
This was only possible for the incredible support of:
-
Seed for Success Foundation,
-
Sioux Empire United Way,
-
Cathy and Dave B.
-
Olivia and Dave
-
many other generous donors!
Having employees is very important
because it's the only way that we will be
able to continue to sustain the growth in toy box circulation.
Many more children are playing!
Many more are learning!
Can you help?
The TLL Board of Directors and I invite YOU
to support learning through play,
TODAY!
Thank you very much for considering!
Most kindly,
Anelis
