GENERO-C.I.T.Y. Toy Shop

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. We imagine this as a space to:
 
🩵 Host in-person interactive child/caregiver classes
🩵 Provide “social hour” classes for school-aged kids
🩵 Gather for parent-only meet-ups and classes
🩵 Invite the general community to volunteer, understand, and interact with our community increasing everyone’s capacity to be compassionate, inclusive, and welcoming.
