PLEASE HELP WINONA AREA TOYS FOR KIDS BY VOLUNTEERING
Winona Area Toys for Kids (TFK), a volunteer organization, has existed over 30 years under one name or another. Its purpose has remained unchanged—to provide a toy to area children whose parents would like some help to give a toy to their child during the Holidays.
TFK serves the Winona area, including western Wisconsin at Cochrane, Fountain City, Bluff Siding, and Buffalo City; in Minnesota, Winona, Goodview, Minnesota City, Rollingstone, Rushford, Lewiston, Homer, and surrounding areas. Toys are distributed to over 350 families and about 1,000 children each year.
There is current need for volunteers to assist in the following area.
Join the Winona Area Toys for Kids Committee.
There is a significant and growing need to add to the committee that directs the activities of the Winona Area Toys for Kids. What we do, (provide toys to area children) has not changed the number of children,, families, and area covered has grown. It has become apparent that in order to continue to provide the service and attempt to reach others who could benefit from what we do we need to expand the the number of committee members to share the workload.
Please consider joining the committee to help ensure this service to the community continues and grows to fill the needs of the area children. We are confident that you will find it to be a rewarding and full filling experience, as we do.
