Edmonds Toy Shop

Since 1981, our annual holiday gifting began as a grassroots effort by Edmonds Food Bank volunteers and the Edmonds United Methodist Church. In 2021, shortly after achieving non-profit status, the Edmonds Food Bank was named the fiscal agent under which the Edmonds Toy Shop operates.

This tradition has evolved into a one-day event where caregivers can "shop" for toys and books for their children. Older children (age 10+) are given gift cards to purchase their own items.

We host our December Toy Shop event to support families who often face tough choices between food and other essentials, especially during the holiday season, ensuring they can provide gifts for their children without sacrificing basic needs.

Last year we provided toys, books and gift cards to 748 children. Our Edmonds community makes this event possible, whether through volunteering or donating. We are so grateful for this continued support!
