Christmas City Toy Shop
Each December, The Salvation Army partners with WISH TV Channel 8 to provide toys to families where at least one parent is working or in school. Applications are collected throughout the month of November and are checked with the United Christmas Service. Eligible applicants are invited to a “Toy Shop” at the Indiana State Fairgrounds where they are escorted by a volunteer that helps them shop for their children.
In 2011, which marked the 11th year for this event, over 13,000 toys were collected. We invited 783 families to Toy Shop to pick out new, unwrapped toys for their children for Christmas.
You MUST be employed or in school to be eligible for this program!
