Recycle—Reconnect—Reimagine
C.I.T.Y. of Support is so excited for this new chapter! A physical location where we can bring more in-person opportunities to our community. While our recycled toy shop (selling gently-used toys and specialty therapeutic items) will help us generate revenue to stay in business, our play space will be a place to fulfill some of our wishes.
Our shop benefits the whole community:
Donate your gently-used toys, books, and games that facilitate play development for children of all abilities (no clothing or stuffed animals, please). Shop for affordable, quality items knowing that 100% of proceeds go back to support our organization’s mission (teachers and therapists love our gift cards!). Participate in inclusive programs open to everyone such as free community storytimes and playgroups, affordable therapeutic enrichment classes, parent meet-ups, and free on-site respite for families with children in therapy. Volunteer to help with daytime, evening, and weekend shifts. Adults and students 14+ welcome!
Make a Difference
Help Support Our Programs
Every single C.I.T.Y. program or event that you have participated in was made possible by community members like you!
As a primarily volunteer-led nonprofit, we rely on both financial support and volunteer time from our members and community sponsors in order to keep growing!
Donate
C.I.T.Y. member donations accounted for about 56% of all funding for 2023! Every little bit helps us grow.
