Toy Truck benefiting Porter-Leath

The pandemic has caused many families who were already experiencing the effects of poverty to eliminate all discretionary funds, especially those that would normally be used for a holiday gift.

We need your help to collect new, unwrapped toys for 6,200 Porter-Leath preschoolers ages six months to five years old.

Ways You Can Help

• Request a toy collection box for your business or community group
• Visit toytruckmemphis.org to give a monetary donation or
  purchase a toy off of one of Porter-Leath’s Wishlists
• Drop off a toy at the Toy Truck in December (dates and locations below)
• Host a virtual toy drive as part or in place of your 2020 celebrations

Suggestions for Toy Selection

• The greatest need is an age-appropriate toy for a 4 or 5-year-old child.
• Educational toys that teach numbers, shapes, or colors
• Wooden puzzles or blocks
• Toys that promote the development of gross motor skills

*Please note no used items, stuffed animals, toy weapons, games with dice or play money, or food items can be accepted. All monetary gifts are accepted and matched by a Secret Santa!*
