Making a Difference
Every child deserves to know the joy of opening presents at Christmas! Every December, Gallatin Shalom Zone is honored to be the Sumner County collection and distribution site for Marines Toys for Tots. This event requires over 300 volunteers, new toys and sports equipment, books, crafts, blankets, incalculable supplies, and the generous support of our community in order to serve families at Christmas. Last year, Toys for Tots served over 1500 children and youth in and around Sumner County!
Donate Toys
Now through December 12th, help bring joy to children in our community by donating new, unwrapped toys, sports equipment, games, books, blankets, and gifts for Sumner County Kids!
Bring your donations directly to Gallatin Shalom Zone OR to one of our Toys for Tots partner collection sites:
