I'm very sorry and thank you for bumping the thread so others will see it! That is also a way to give, by helping others see how to give! Prayers for some financial relief for you!

Count me in!

Every 5 dollars counts. My oldest daughter was a teacher up in the Alaska villages. They were very poor and many had never received a gift for Christmas. Our church got together and made sure every kid in the school had a gift. The items on the kids wish list were a yellow dress, toy cars, ECT. The entire school consisted of 30 students kindergarten to seniors in highschool. They all got together at the school gym and everyone got their gifts and opened them together. My daughter video taped the action. It was unbelievably heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. When we give it will give a child in need one day of absolute joy. You will be part of that

This makes my eyes water!

Happily donated!

It's Christmas time again and we are excited to announce our annual Toys For Kids Drive!

Official Giving Page:Toys For Kids 2024 - GoFundMe

UPDATE: GOFUNDME does not allow REWARD levels anymore so we will detail them here in this thread towards the bottom! You give and you get tickets to win prizes!

It's that time of year for giving and our members at www.reef2reef.com love to give! If you are a seasoned veteran of REEF2REEF then you know we help unfortunate children get gifts, clothing and food at Christmas time. Every Christmas for the past 15 years we have had a toy donation drive and every year the members of R2R and the reefing community step up and give to make Christmas dreams come true! Last year alone we raised over $20,000 for toys, clothes, food & necessities for kids and their families all over the world!

Being a pastor of a local church in my community gives us the platform to not only see the need around us but to be able to do something about it! We are able to make sure that all families are in need and that the kids really wouldn't have much for Christmas otherwise. We are able to buy all the gifts with no taxes because we are a non-profit at the church. That saves us hundreds of dollars every year.

We are once again partnering with local, national and international organizations like Grace Alive Church and The Awakening Church to help us disperse gifts, food, clothing and necessities to kids and families all over the world.

Will you help us reach our goal this year? We can do it! There is nothing that makes you feel better than to give to someone in need. All the proceed go directly to the Toy Drive!

Our annual "R2R Matching Donor Member" is in again for this year!! Him and his family will be matching donations up to $10,000!!!! YAY!!! Celebrate!!!!

We will be closing the drive on December 6th!

Goal is $20,000
