What children can do:
Do you have toys in good condition which you want to donate to another child? Are you between 3-12 years? Then share your toys and give joy to another child and yourself.
What adults can do:
Do you like making handicrafts with children? Come and help us out during the toy exchange party in Kirche auf der Egg ( Wollishofen). We will run our own crafting table and can host craft ideas of our choice. You can’t come, but still want to help? Bake a cake, cookies or muffins for the event!
How does it work?
With the Caritas gift exchange, children can show solidarity with other kids. The spillover of toys that is generated with the 2 for 1 exchange will be for children in need that are also attending the exchange day(they get their voucher for free). Toys that do not find directly a new home at the gift exchange will be collected from the Social Service and directly distributed at Christmas to families in need in Zurich.
Bring 2 Toys
Bring two toys to a collection point and you get a voucher for a single toy in exchange. We only accept toys in good condition. Please note, that we can not accept puzzles with over 30 pieces (except if new and unopened) and toys that are too big and difficult to transport by one single person. We take plush toys, but you don't get a voucher for them. We take electronic toys only with working batteries, so that we can check that it is in good working condition. We would be very happy to get more toys for the 8-12 year age category.
Collection Time: Monday, 11th of November till Wednesday 27th of November.
