Toys of Hope, founded in 1994 by Melissa Doktofsky, was established to help less fortunate children and their families live happier and more fulfilling lives. Toys of Hope provides toys, books, clothing and activities to the needy and homeless. Toys for Hope is an organization relying solely on volunteers and does not have any paid employees or professional fund raisers. One hundred percent of all donations go directly toward helping children and families. The organization is currently based out of the office of St. John's Church on Main Street and Prospect Street.
