Bruce Roberts Toy Fund
From Thanksgiving to Christmas, The Bruce Roberts Toy Fund solicits donations from the surrounding communities. These donations are used to purchase new, safe, and age appropriate toys for children. Although originally conceived as a Christmas toy fund, the mission of the fund was broadened several years ago to include all faiths. The spirit of giving and sharing remains intact.
Each year, at least 100 volunteers work to ensure that the children are served. Each volunteer has a story to tell of why they are committed to the endeavor. The donors also have stories to tell – many speak of receiving toys from the fund when they were young, others let us know that they have requested assistance in the past.
The Bruce Roberts Toy Fund is a non-profit corporation that was established in 1949 as a newspaper-run charity to assure that needy Maine children received toys during the holiday season. Six decades later, it has grown into a powerful community asset with a strong reputation for helping those in need in five counties: York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln and Knox.
You can help spread the joy by donating to the Bruce Roberts Toy Fund or by volunteering to help!
