St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati (SVDP) is partnering with OrthoCincy Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine and FOX19 to collect NEW, UNWRAPPED toys for local children through December 13.
100% of donations will directly benefit St. Vincent de Paul’s Christmas Together program, helping parents provide meaningful gifts for their children while relieving some of the financial strain that can push families toward homelessness during the holidays.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to drop off toys for kids of all ages (infants to teens) at participating OrthoCincy locations. Gifts for older children and teens are also needed, as these are often the most difficult to provide.
Those who prefer to give online can also shop from SVDP’s Amazon Gift List to have items shipped directly to the organization.
Large boxes will be placed in these OrthoCincy clinic and therapy locations.
- Kentucky – Edgewood, Florence, Highland Heights (NKU)
- Ohio – Anderson, Eastgate, Kenwood, West Chester
- Indiana – Lawrenceburg, Greendale
Last year, SVDP provided gifts for over 750 families and nearly 3,000 children throughout Greater Cincinnati, ensuring that families could focus on what truly matters—time together at home.
“Each year, we meet parents who are doing everything they can to keep their families stable, working hard to pay rent and utilities while still hoping to give their children a joyful holiday,” says Brad McMonigle, CEO of SVDP. “Through partnerships like this one with OrthoCincy and FOX19, we’re helping families stay ‘Home for the Holidays’ and giving children the simple joy of knowing they’re loved and remembered.”
Toys will be distributed to pre-selected families on two days in mid-December.
