We are looking for brick and mortar businesses who would be willing to have a toy collection box to help us stock shelves for our Community Giftmart this year.

Since 2003, Giftmart has collected more than 260,000 new toys to be sold at sites in East Aurora, Naperville, and Joliet where parents from partner schools have the opportunity to choose gifts for their children at a discounted price of $2 per toy. Over the past decade Giftmart has helped low-income families invest more than $280,000 into their local schools resulting in the purchase of much needed library books, computers, musical instruments and other supplies.
