CHRISTMAS WITH BREATHE

The Annual B379 Toy Drive

The possibility of any child waking up without a gift on Christmas morning is heart crushing. We intend to do as much as we can to prevent that by delivering gifts to children throughout the area. It's our 12th official year, and we are ready to hit the streets again, but we need your help to make a difference.

Last year Breathe 379, with the help of those supporting and partnering with us, were able to give out gifts, stockings and pjs to 1,400 children. Since inception, Breathe 379 has given out over 8,000 toys & 1,500 sets of stockings and PJ's. (PJ's & Stockings started in 2020).

Here's how you can help to get more toys/stockings/PJs into the hands of some amazing kids.

  • Donate A Toy/Stocking/Stuffers/PJs

  • Donate a NEW toy/gift for a child between the ages of Infant through 17 years old and drop it off at any of our Drop Zones (locations coming soon)

  • Donate a NEW red 18" Stocking (standard) for Salvatore's Stockings

  • Donate NEW Stocking Stuffers for Salvatore's Stockings. (See the list below)

  • Donate a NEW set of PJ's for the Pajama Extravaganza. (Sizes Infant to XXXL

Become a Drop Zone

If interested in becoming a Drop Zone, email us and we'll provide a box for your store/office etc. where the public can drop off toys/gifts. We'll announce it on our Facebook page and we ask that you do the same. On Friday, December 13th our volunteers will pick up the box and items at your location. If it fills up prior the scheduled pick up date, please contact us and we will come by and empty it, leaving the box to fill up again.

Thank you to all of our friends who are #inittogether with us!!!
