Five hundred million children in the world have never had a toy. That’s a staggering number of little ones who have never experienced the joy, imagination, and simple happiness that play can bring. Many of these children face incredibly hard circumstances with very little reprieve.

But reprieve can come in the form of something simple — a small wooden toy car that means so much.

So far this year, we’ve made 118,000 toys. This December, we are reaching for our biggest goal yet: 138,000 toys. That’s more than last year and more than any year before! With your help, we can make it happen.

But it’s not just about how many toys we make. It’s about bringing joy into the world — one child, one smile, one spark of hope at a time.

This year, our toys traveled the world in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. They reached children in Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Honduras, Peru, Mexico, and even made their way into refugee camps in Eastern Europe and Northern Africa.

We have welcomed over 1,000 volunteers every month into the toy shop — groups, families, individuals, and take-home project helpers who sew, sand and oil, and build with love.

What we do matters. And with your support, we can keep the momentum going and make our biggest impact yet.

Just $15,000 more helps us craft 30,000 more toy cars.
Will you be a finish line hero today?
