We just moved here from up north. As we are trying to unpack and find a spot for everything we have discovered that our kids have too many toys. In our old house they had our whole basement to spread them out in. So not having one here has forced us to downsize.

Can anyone tell me of a place (preferably near Lakewood Ranch) where I can donate thier gently used toys? They are all in great condition. I'd rather not take them to Goodwill where they are resold but rather to a place who gives them to families that really need them (church, children services organization, etc).

Thanks!

you might want to the Boys and Girls club of america. They were able to pick up a donation of gym equipment for their kids. I don't know if the age range is appropriate, but here it is, anyway.

Some of the day care centers and elementary schools will take toy donations. They have to be items that can be washed.
