100% of the money raised will be donated!
We cannot wait for you to join us and hope you will consider a donation in the coming weeks.
2023 Toy Drive
The WOCF Annual Holiday Toy Drive 2023
The Wide Open Charitable Foundation is collecting new, unwrapped toys, games and crafts for the pediatric patients at UNC Children's Hospital and surrounding UNC clinics.
These items are collected during the holidays and donated after the first of the new year. Why? Historically, hospitals receive some of their largest donation inventories of the whole year during the month of December. After the holidays, donations drop and needs increase. We collect during December and donate in January! These donations will benefit patient care programs, birthday boxes and support patients, their siblings and families during hospital stays.
We are fortunate to have Lundy Management Group join us as our presenting sponsor for the third consecutive year! Together, we are hoping to drop off boxes at 50 local businesses and we would love for you to join us!
If you would like to host a toy box for the month of December, please email WideOpenCF@gmail.com and we will provide you with everything you need.
