For nearly 100 years Mac’s Toy Fund has been helping families in Raleigh County have a special Christmas every year. Toys, coats, bikes and more have been donated over the years to families who need them most. In 2020, Mac’s Toy Fund officials decided to award grants instead of holding a large event, due to COVID-19. Mac’s Toy Fund will offer grants to charitable organizations that give out toys, coats and the like to children.
Macs Toy Fund no longer distributes toys to the community, they provide grants to organizations. Anyone looking for toys this Christmas are recommended to complete the Toys for Tots application. This application is due December 1, 2025.
Please keep an eye on media outlets for other events from local organizations.
