Scott Gregg Jr Annual Toy Drive

Each year, we deploy drop boxes across our area and collect donations of unwrapped toys, benefiting children and families of Cape May County, as well as Shriners Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. In 2023, we expanded our efforts to include an Amazon wishlist, making it even easier to contribute.

Follow the group on Facebook for information, drop box locations, and how to support this effort:
