Why give?

  • ✽

    This Toy Drive supports local children and families in our neighborhood, including working families, immigrant households, and extended community members. The goal is simple: to make sure kids feel celebrated, cared for, and remembered during the holiday season.

  • ✽

    Many of the children we serve come from homes rich in culture, love, and creativity, where resources are often stretched. Through this music and art centered toy drive, our community comes together to surround families with generosity that feels personal, respectful, and rooted in care.

  • ✽

    Your holiday support helps provide:
    Toys and creative gifts for local children
    Art supplies, books, and games
    Direct community distribution
    Family-centered holiday moments

    Your gift becomes relief, joy, and shared celebration.

“100% recommend! Miss Brizzo is the best she gives her all to the children and the community always going above and beyond. GGC has strengthened and grown my child so much. Thank you for all you do.”

“Brizzo guided myself and 15 volunteers for about 6 weeks of practicing Christmas Carols on our Agenda. She’s an awesome leader and full of joy. She is patient and fun loving. Her personality transcened to us and gave us the courage to go out and perform our Christmas Carols to several Independent Living and Nursing Homes in our community.”
