Christmas is back and with it the traditional toy collections so that all children can enjoy their Christmas gift. If you have the idea of donating second-hand toys, it is important that they are in good condition. The OCU itself has made a list of the different initiatives that we can find this Christmas nationwide to help you in the election.
new toys
Alcampo
Once again this year, Alcampo has launched its traditional “No child without a Toy” campaign, which collects new toys from November 5 to December 20 in 79 hypermarkets and supermarkets.
Red Cross
Red Cross Youth launches its annual toy campaign through financial donations on the website Your rights at stake.
They propose to collaborate by donating from 3 euros so that the most vulnerable girls and boys can enjoy a new, non-war and non-sexist toy. In addition to bank transfer methods, they also accept bizum and SMS.
A toy, an illusion
Through the sale of pens, RTVE’s “A Toy, an Illusion” campaign and the Crecer Jugando foundation have been raising money for 22 years. This year they have the goal of giving gifts to 300,000 children.
Real Wise Men
Real Three Wise Men is a project nonprofit in which hundreds of people collaborate selflessly to give gifts to children, the elderly and people without resources. And not just any gift, but the one they have asked for.
If you want to participate, the organization will send you a letter from one of the recipients with their “ideal gift” for an amount of between 25 and 35 euros, so that you can buy it, wrap it and leave it at a collection address, from which it will be will organize the delivery so that it reaches its recipient on time.
Used toys
Diocesan Caritas
During this Christmas season, it is common for parish centers to organize, through Cáritas, toy collection campaigns. Normally, these initiatives are carried out by the young people of the parishes, who act as pages of the Three Wise Men, organizing the collection of toys (new or in very good condition) that will then be distributed to needy families in the area, assisted by Caritas. Ask at your neighborhood parish if you want to collaborate.
Bulletin board
In collaboration with more than 50 charitiesfoundations and NGOs from all over Spain, the Solidarity Letter to the Three Wise Men aims to give the little ones the opportunity to learn to be supportive, helping other children to have a gift this Christmas by donating the toys they no longer use.
Playtherapy
At Juegaterapia they have specialized in donation of consoles and video games to children who are hospitalized. If your child is going to get a new console this Christmas, don’t hesitate to clean and send the “old” one so that other children can distract themselves and play during their convalescence.
Very well
Bene Bene is a non-profit app that connects people with solidarity organizations. Works like a bulletin board in which the person publishes a photo of the toy (or object) they want to donate, and the solidarity organizations that are interested contact them to organize the collection.
Valora Foundation
Collect clean and in good condition toys to take to other children through NGOs associated with the Valora Foundation. They remind us that “donating is giving what you yourself would give to the child of an acquaintance or family member.” If toys do not meet these conditions, they should be discarded and recycled.
