Kendall News

This holiday season, we’re supporting Giftmart, a special event that allows invited parents and guardians from under-resourced families to shop for brand-new toys at just $2.00 each. Every dollar raised from these sales is donated directly back to participating schools to help fund much-needed classroom resources. You can help make this special event possible by donating a new, unwrapped toy for children ages 6–12. (Please, no stuffed animals or board games.)

Our Giftmart toy donation box will be available from November 9 – December 4 in the secure vestibule, inside of Door #1. Prefer to shop online? You can send a gift directly through one of the Giftmart wish lists below or donate to https://www.giftmartfamilycharities.org/donate.

• Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/lists/wishlist/5b3d0d89-e8cb-4f54-a31e-0a527aeb8cb5

Your donation helps make the holidays brighter for families who need it most and supports our schools and community at the same time. Thank you for sharing the spirit of giving!
