Give the gift of happiness

to hundreds of children living in shelter

3rd Annual Toy Drive

November 15th to December 18th

At Way Finders, we manage emergency shelters to house homeless families throughout Western Massachusetts. Many of these families are there due to no fault of their own and are experiencing unfortunate circumstances like job loss, fires, domestic violence, and more. Some stay in shelter for a few months and others for years. We understand that it is a struggle to find affordable housing, especially when you have a large family.

At our shelters alone, we provide housing to over 700 children ranging from all ages who are in need of more normalcy in their lives. For the past three years we have held a Toy Drive to provide families in shelter with gifts that they can give to their children and see a smile on their face. 

With your help, we can collect enough toys so that every child living in shelter receives at least one toy this holiday season.

Donate a toy or gift

You can bring a smile to a child who is living in shelter by donating a new unwrapped toy or gift (or gift card). If you would like to know what ages are in the greatest need for toys, please contact us at 413-233-1723. 

Drop off locations:

  • Way Finders Springfield Housing Center - 322 Main Street, Springfield MA between 8:30am and 4:00pm
  • Way Finders - 120 Maple Street, 4th Floor, Springfield, MA between 9:00am and 5:00pm

You can also make a monetary donation to Way Finders online.
