Toys For Toga Donates More Than 4,500 Toys – Including $37,000 In Gifts for Teens

SARATOGA COUNTY — With the support of more than 120 Saratoga County businesses, Toys for Toga donated more than 4,500 toys to three Saratoga County community centers last week. 

This donation included $37,000 in gifts and technology specifically for teenagers. These gifts included video game consoles, tablets, Apple AirPods, Stanley cups, scooters, and other wish list items requested by specific children. This donation was made by longtime Toys for Toga member Death Wish Coffee, the nonprofit organization Brewnited and the Saratoga County Foundation.

Toys for Toga donations are split evenly between the Franklin Community Center, CAPTAIN Community Human Services and Mechanicville Area Community Services Center. 

Toys were collected at local restaurants, hotels, bars, retail stores, schools, clubs and more since Nov. 1. An estimated 1,500 children will benefit from the donations, according to the beneficiaries. A more than $12,000 cash donation from the campaign’s GoFundMe page and sponsor support will also be split among the beneficiaries.
