About the Toy Shoppe

The Holiday Toy Shoppe is an annual program sponsored by Glade Valley Community Services, Inc. The Toy Shoppe is a community-wide effort to assist families living in the Walkersville / Woodsboro and surrounding Glade Valley area needing assistance in providing a better holiday for their children than might otherwise be possible.

The program depends to a great degree on the generosity of local churches, organizations, business and residents to provide the requested items. GVCS provides funding for the purchase of items, where needed, should community donations prove insufficient.

Toy Shoppe Donations

If you want to donate to our Holiday Toy Shoppe we can provide you with wish lists of clothing and toys, or you can adopt a child!  Our distribution is always during the first week of December.  We need Donors to take “mittens” with wish lists in the month of November!  

Please note, we only provide for the children ages 0-18 (in school) in the family.

ONE child’s wish list would include:   2 outfits (usually pants and a top), one pack of underwear/diapers and one pack of socks, hat,  gloves and 3 toys.

If there are Middle and High school children in the family, we provide gift cards a sweatshirt and books.

Extras include coats,  (thanks to coat drives in the community) homemade stockings, (filled by a local church) books, wrapping paper, tape and gift certificates to hair salons, local restaurants and grocery stores.

Please contact us with questions or to donate! You can email us at [email protected] or call 301-845-0213 and leave a message.

In 2024, we helped 73 families and 169 children ages 0-18.  Thank you, again, to the community for your generous support in making spirits brighter for those in need every holiday season!
