Frequently asked questions

What type of items do you need? 

How can I help? 

• We now have a live donation link, for financial contributions. We are a 501c3, so your donation/ company donation is tax deductible. 

• DONATIONS! We also need items to be donated, TOYS- think lego sets unopened, games, dolls.. toys your kids played with a few times, and moved on, you know you should donate it.. but you don't know where - here! 

• VOLUNTEER! For our experience night we will need lots of help! Sign up links will be posted in early fall of each year for November's event. 

• SHARE- SHARE- SHARE! - Getting the word out! Follow us on social media, share our posts, and if you know a family that needs help- please connect us!

Where can I donate my items? 

Follow us on social media for drop off donation day announcements. You can also sign up to HOST your own drop off event for MMP. Or contact us via email or social media to coordinate a time. Our preference is we can see everyone at once during a big drop off event, but we know life happens, and everyone's schedules are different. 

How and when do you pick the families? 

HOW: In our first year  we had a simple google doc for families in need to complete. The application opens in mid-late August each year for that year's event and stays open for 2 weeks. 

WHEN: Our application and nominations will go live in August. 

How will you gift all these items to the families? 

Our "Experience Night" with Santa, and all the stations (the event that we need all volunteers for) will be the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving! This way the families we help can rest easy knowing that they have the holidays covered, and all the tools to make it happen for their kiddos.
