At ELITE Remodels, we help families create homes where holiday memories are made. But we know not every family gets to celebrate the season the same way. This year, we’re collecting toys to spread some holiday cheer to local kids who need it most. Last year, with our community’s help, we collected nearly 300 toys and delivered them to families and kids in need living in select local housing. This year, we’re aiming even higher: 500 toys!
HOW TO GIVE:
Pick up a new, unwrapped toy.
Drop it off in the bathtub at our Design Studio or at any partner bin by December 9th.
Santa and our owner, Jerry Jaimes, deliver the toys to local families!
MARK YOUR CALENDAR:
Now through December 9: Toy donations open at our Design Studio and all partner bin locations.
December 10–11: Santa and Jerry hit the road to deliver toys to families in select local housing!
