Holiday Toy Drive, Stocking Donations Begin Nov. 2

New, unwrapped toys under holiday tree

October 23, 2020— Wilsonville Parks and Recreation is coordinating the City’s annual toy drive to provide some holiday cheer for in-need residents in Wilsonville and throughout Clackamas County.

From Nov. 2 to Dec. 8, we invite residents to purchase and drop off new, unwrapped toys at the Parks & Recreation Admin. Building on weekdays between 8 am and 5 pm.  Donations can also be dropped at Wilsonville Orthodontics, 9475 SW Wilsonville Rd., Monday-Thursday (hours vary). Other drop spots may be added and announced.

All toys donated are collected and distributed by Toy & Joy/Compassion in Action of Clackamas County to individuals and families in need.

“Every child deserves to experience holiday joy,” said Brian Stevenson, Parks & Recreation Program Manager. “We appreciate the generosity of Wilsonville residents, who are providing some happiness for families who may otherwise not have the means to provide holiday gifts.”

Fill a Stocking for a Senior

The Parks and Recreation Department inviting community member to donate and fill stockings for seniors enrolled in the Community Center’s Home Delivered Meal Program.  Filled stockings can be donated at the Parks & Recreation Administrative Offices from Nov. 2 to Dec. 11.
