Since 2010, Tower of Toys collected unwrapped children’s toys, sports equipment, art supplies, cosmetics, movie certificates, gift cards and more to benefit local children and families in need. With the tremendous support of our sponsors and community, our team loved having the opportunity to bring joy to so many in New Hampshire. Despite the change in distribution last year in 2022, it is still the goal of Tower of Toys to spread happiness and cheer to children and families during the 2023 holiday season. All toys, gifts, and funds raised by Tower of Toys will be donated to ensure happy holidays for children of all ages.
