Iowa City Holiday Toy Redistribution Donation Page
Redistributing toys from one family to another in our community ❤️
Monetary donations to the Iowa City Holiday Toy Redistribution can be made on this page.
This project was started back in 2020 to help reimagine holiday shopping. If you are looking to find affordable (free!) toy gifts, reduce consumerism and waste for the betterment of the planet, or just want your gently used toys to go towards making a child happy this holiday season, we're here for you!
We are working to collect and redistribute quality used toys in our community. Donations are being accepted Nov 1 through Dec 10. The Iowa City Holiday Toy Redistribution Project is presented by Antelope Lending Library, The LENA Project, and is headed by local social justice advocate Anne Ventullo. Huge thanks to support provided by CommUnity and Velvet Lotus Tattoo.

Step 2: Distribution
Toys will be distributed per a point system (smaller item toys will be one point; larger items will be 2 or more points). You will be given points to “spend” based on the number of children in your family. There are no requirements for participating; no forms or documents are needed.
