EFC will be accepting donations of used toys, games and books. To participate, bring in your items (in good condition) to your center between March 27 and April 7.

Every family that donates will be entered to win one of the following prizes*:

• Minnesota State Parks Pass
• Gift Card to Your Local Nature Center
• Outdoor Dining Gift Card

The EFC center with the most donations per child (to account for differences in size) will win funds to be used for nature-based play materials and experiences.

EFC will distribute toys to be used throughout our classrooms, allowing everyone to benefit from your collective generosity.

Toys that are not appropriate for use at EFC will be donated to children and families in need.
