Holiday Toy Drive
2024-12-15 13:00 - 15:00 | V Pizza Mandarin, 12601 San Jose Blvd,, Jacksonville, FL, 32223, United States
Ho, Ho, Big How!
Our annual Toys for Tots service project has a different look this year. Instead of skating this year, we will be hanging out at V’s Pizza in Mandarin. This isn’t an event you will need to pay anything or register. We are asking only that you come out to drop off a toy for the less fortunate kids on Christmas. You can stick around and watch football with your fellow NSDJax dads or just come and drop a toy off between 1 – 3 PM this Sunday and continue about your day. If you can’t be there physically, but another dad in your tribe is, give them the toy to drop off in your stead. This generous act will also qualify the participating dad and children who donate for the Order of the White Buffalo (OWB) event that is held every spring.
For this reason, make sure we know who the toy if from.
