🧸💙 Giving Toys a Second Life, Sharing Smiles with Children in Need 💙🧸

🧸💙 VT Seva Maryland – New Market Spreads Joy Through Its Community Toy Drive! 💙🧸

The VT Seva Maryland – New Market Team proudly organized a successful Toy Drive, bringing together families, youth volunteers, and the Lake Linganore Woodridge community to make a difference—one toy at a time.

With the theme "Giving Toys a Second Life," the drive encouraged families to donate gently used toys that could bring happiness to children in need while also promoting sustainability by reducing waste and encouraging reuse. Together, the community donated stuffed animals, action figures, LEGO sets, toy cars, balls, bowling sets, and many more toys, which were donated to Goodwill to help brighten the lives of children.

Our sincere thanks go to all the parents, community members, and volunteers whose generosity and enthusiasm made this initiative such a meaningful success.
