Mott Toy Drive
Now in its third year, our annual Holiday Toy & Book Drive is back — and it’s one of our favorite traditions.
We’re collecting new toys and books for children of all ages (infancy through 18) to donate to Mott Children’s Hospital for their annual Mott Toy Store. This incredible program allows parents of children staying at Mott to pick out gifts for their little ones — free of charge — to bring a bit of holiday magic to the hospital.
This cause is deeply close to our hearts, and we’d love your help in making this year’s donation our biggest yet. In addition to physical donations, we’re also accepting cash contributions, which will be used to purchase additional toys and books for the drive.
Together, let’s make the season a little brighter for these families.
