The Armer Foundation, a local non-profit aiming to help families who have children with extreme medical needs, is hosting their 3rd Annual Holiday Toy Drive from November 17 – December 15, 2021, benefitting the Banner Cardon Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Oncology Unit.
Several local businesses throughout the Valley have set up drop-off locations for the unopened toys.
Jennifer Armer, Founder of the Armer Foundation, hopes that the toys bring cheer, hope, and a little bit of the holiday spirit to the families and children in need.
“Having been in these families shoes ourselves, we know what a difference even just one toy can make in a child’s life when they spend day in and day out in the same hospital room,” said Armer. “While we are often helping with families’ medical expenses, we always like to do something extra for the holidays and are overjoyed by the amount of local business who are helping us give back to these children and their families.”
The Armer Foundation is seeking donations of any new, unwrapped toys for kids, from newborn to teens. Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:
