Come help support Holiday Toy Store by Exodus Transitional Community! You will help run a free toy store where families are invited to find holiday gifts for their children, share a meal with others, sip hot chocolate and take a family holiday picture that they can cherish for years to come.
Exodus is located in East Harlem in a community that has been seriously impacted by mass incarceration, community violence, food insecurity, and an increase in families and individuals living in poverty, disproportionately affected by the justice system. As a safe haven for our community, Exodus has become a healing place where people know they can come for a hot meal, a warm coat and a supportive environment.
The holiday season this year will be especially difficult with fewer resources coming into the community due to federal program cuts and enhanced ICE and law enforcement activities.
