If you’d like to learn more about Sharing Connections and the important work they do, please check out this video: https://vimeo.com/359383446 This year, Sharing Connections is most in need of toys for kids 5-9 years old. Some ideas for that age group include: Lego sets, ethnically diverse dolls/Barbies, walkie-talkies, remote control toys, sports items, light up dance mat, and action figures. You can find more ideas on their Amazon wish list . Sharing Connections is glad to receive multiples of the same toy, and $25 gift cards to Walmart and Target are welcome as well.
