Help Children With The Gifts They Really Want This Year. Make A Donation Today.

Each year the Durham Rescue Mission gives away thousands of Christmas toys to children in need. We are quickly approaching our Annual Christmas Community Event and are in great need of Christmas toys. At this time we need to replenish our supply of toys for boys and girls, ages 0-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12.

Some examples of toys needed are as follows:

• Lego sets
• Action Figures
• Barbie Doll sets
• Make-up Kits
• Theme toys for both boys and girls
• Games and educational toys
• Jewelry kits
• We are in desperate need of bicycles for boys and girls ages 5-12
