CAP Agency Seeking Hosts for Toy Drive

The Scott Carver Dakota Community Action Partnership (CAP) Agency is seeking sponsors to host toy drives on CAP’s behalf.

Toy distribution sponsors can include businesses, organizations, churches and individuals. Sponsors are responsible for holding a toy drive and ensuring that all toys are delivered to the agency no later than Friday, Dec. 16. Collected toys should not be gift wrapped and should have at least a $15 value. 

This program differs from the agency’s Hope for the Holidays program in that a sponsor gathers toys to be distributed to the greater community instead of being paired directly with a family. Specifically, these toys are distributed to children from birth to age 14 living in Scott and Carver counties.  

Those interested in sponsoring a family can e-mail info@capagency.org or call (952) 402- 9856. Information about the toy distribution program is also available on the Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency’s website at www.capagency.org.

The Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to assisting and empowering almost 50,000 individuals annually to achieve social and economic well being by providing services in partnership with their communities. Some of their most widely known programs include: Head Start, Weatherization, Housing, Food Shelf, Energy Assistance and Financial Literacy.
