Big thanks to Windermere Preparatory School for allowing Amy and I to host our 2nd annual Toys for Hope, new toy drive. All the toys collected go to homeless and at risk children, giving them a Christmas they deserve.
Windermere Prep offered their offices to be a drop-off between the 6-15th of December for anyone in the community who wanted to donate. As a result, we needed a truck and full size van to carry them off!
We are so grateful to the entire community for their generous hearts.

This year Amy and I are hosting the Toys for Hope event which is a New Toy Drive for kids who are homeless and at-risk families who will be attending the Christmas Carnival put on by Matthew’s Hope in our neighboring town of Winter Garden, days later.
Each year, Matthew’s Hope puts on a Christmas Carnival where volunteers organize games for families who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. Kids walk around and have a chance to win prizes while they wait for the arrival of Santa Claus, who comes in riding on a Fire Truck courtesy of the Winter Garden Fire Department. When Santa arrives, the kids are guided through a large room of new toys, and with the help of volunteers, they put together a Christmas list of items they want to ask Santa for. The children then meet Santa and he takes their list to fulfill their wishes.
We are asking everyone in the Metro Orlando community to join us in helping bring joy to all these children by buying new toys and dropping them off at Windermere Preparatory School from 1-4pm on December 6th.
If you are unsure of what to buy, we can provide a list at your request. Because of the daily involvement of Matthew’s Hope in the community there will be no limit of donations as they are in tune with the community and have the ability to bless others that may not attend the Christmas Carnival.
Windermere Preparatory School is located at 6189 Winter Garden Vineland Rd, Windermere, FL 34786
