Person to Person’s annual “Holiday Toy Store” starts Thursday, Dec. 14, so that its clients have gifts for their children this holiday season.
Over 1,000 families are expected to visit the Toy Store this year to personally choose gifts for their children.

The “Holiday Toy Store” is made possible thanks to the kindness of hundreds of Connecticut residents and local businesses who donated toys, books, board games, gift cards, and money.
Supporting P2P’s “Holiday Toy Store” are numerous corporate and community volunteer groups, along with nearly 400 individual volunteers who will help set up and run the store.
