Black Lives Matter Morristown Launches Holiday Toy Drive

MORRISTOWN, NJ - In a year that has been filled with uncertainty and loss, Black Lives Matter Morristown has launched a toy drive to see some laughter and bright smiles for the holidays.

The drive will benefit local homeless shelters.

"Families should not have to lose anything else and spend the remainder of the year creating happy memories with one another," organizers said. "We are happy to announce that Homeless Solutions, JBWS and Family Promise, will be receiving all proceeds collected during this drive."

The stated goal of the drive is for families across the greater Morristown area to have a magical holiday season.

"We all will be contributing to a child’s smile during the holidays," they said.

The group noted they are only collecting unopened and new toys from the Amazon wish list to ensure COVID-19 safety, but will accept hand delivered gift cards. High Priority Gift Cards needed:

• Walmart Gift Cards
• Gas Cards
• Whole Foods Gift Cards
• Wegmans Gift Cards
• Aldi’s Gift Cards
• Shoprite Gift Cards
• Target Gift Cards
• Shop and Stop

Those interested in donating monetarily can contact T’Anna Kimbrough or Thania Blanco o at Blmmorristown@gmail.com.

Those interested in purchasing something off of the Amazon list can do so through the website.
