Join us for our December virtual Business After Hours Ugly Sweater Holiday Happy Hour with co-hosts the Greater Ithaca Activities Center and Tompkins Connect. As part of our virtual Business After Hours we will be supporting the Annual GIAC/Tompkins Connect Toy Drive program.
Providing in a hope-filled environment to the underserved in the greater Ithaca area, last year, Tompkins Connect and GIAC collected and distributed toys to over 80 children, 100% of which were donated. Come join us in providing joy for one child this holiday season?
Please consider providing gifts for kids 5 - 11 years old. A few suggestions:
• New toys for both girls and boys (Barbies, LOL Dolls, Slime, Beyblades, Arts-n-Crafts Kits, Legos
• New stuffed animals
• New board games for the family
• New hats, gloves and coats
• New books, puzzles, arts & crafts
• New stocking stuffers, stockings, etc. (if filled, clearly mark boy/girl or neutral and include age)
