Volunteers Make Thousands of Wooden Toys for Children in Need

For many years, the Kiwanis club in Longmont has been hand-making 100% wooden toys that end up in hospitals and daycare centers around Colorado.

“Our goal every year is to make 10,000 toys” – Marvin Van Peursem, Project Coordinator for the Longmont Kiwanis Toy for Kids Project

“We are starting on our tenth year and we’ve made over 50,000 toys,” says Van Peursem. And those toys are donated to children through around fifty organizations including Children’s Hospital, Sister Carmen, Ronald McDonald House and Casa de la Esperanza.
