Giant Robot Los Angeles Toy Drive

Giant Robot is for the children:
Toy Drive for Aviva Family & Children's Services* *Drop off toys at either our GR2 or GR Silverlake locations before Friday, December 19th! *

Aviva Family & Children's Services is a non-profit in LA that offers a ton of resources to women and children in need of housing, mental/health care, foster homes, job training and a whole lot more. You can read more about them here:

www.avivacenter.org

Every year they have a toy drive to collect donations for the women and children that are in their residential and group homes, and other programs that they support. This year Giant Robot is going to take part and have two giant boxes to collect donations at GR2 and GR Silverlake. Donations will be delivered the week before Christmas in time to be given to the women and children who benefit from Aviva's programs.

Aviva has a holiday "wish list", but other donations can be made. Items should be new, or in REALLY good condition. Here are some ideas. If you have any of these items to donate, bring them in, unwrapped and put them in the box at GR2 or GRSL:
