Donate toys to local kids through nonprofits? Thank you!
Alphabet Soup ipartners with many local nonprofits throughout the year including The Racker Center, Cops, Kids & Toys and Family & Children's Service and GIAC and the Finger Lakes Toy Library to help bring toys to kids in need at Christmas time and throughout the year. We have also worked with Girl Scout troops who have run their own toy drives. If you or your organization are interested in partnering with us, contact us!
If you would like to order toys to donate, here are a few things to know:
-
Your whole order will be donated. If you would like to order toys that are not for donation, please make a separate order.
-
During checkout: When you get to the "Ship To" address, choose "Same as Billing" (Toys will not be shipped to you; we will take care of donating them)
-
Under "Shipping Method," check the box next to "Donate this order"
-
You can also make purchases in person at Alphabet Soup in Downtown Ithaca.
