Local church hoping for holiday-toy-drive help again this year

(WSB photo from December 2009 by Christopher Boffoli)
Remember that scene from last December? As we and others reported, community generosity saved the day – and the holidays – for local kids in need, when Bishop Deborah Dinkins of Restoration Worship Center – which meets at High Point Community Center – reached out for help. She is hoping you can help again this year:

Greeting from Restoration Worship Center Bishop Dinkins

We are having our annual Toy Drive starting the first Sunday in November and continuing every Sunday in November. We have more than 1,000 names already of children needing toys. We have not gotten any donations yet. We are in desperate need of Toys, Gift Cards, Clothes and Monetary Donations. Donations can be dropped off at the High Point Community Center, 6920 34th Ave SW, West Seattle every Sunday in November between the hours of 12 noon to 2:00 pm outside to collect all donations.

The toys will be given away on Sunday in December 5th from 12 to 2:00 pm @ the High Point Housing Office in West Seattle.

For more information please contact Bishop Deborah Dinkins at 360-440-4428 or Tina Taylor at 206-261-4225

Thank you!

    I’d strongly encourage everyone to donate through the YMCA, Southwest Youth & Family Resources, and other agencies that have a screening process and means of equitably distributing toys to families who are actually in need. Bishop Dinkins uses no such process and there is no accountability.

Sorry, comment time is over.
