Our company is growing, our customers are happy, and our floors get more beautiful year after year! We have so many things to be grateful for that we can’t help but want to spread the joy! It is with great pleasure that The Garrison Collection has teamed up with our most trusted and loyal partners in the flooring industry for the 2nd Annual Garrison Toy Drive!
As a proud Los Angeles based company, we can think of no better or more deserved recipients than the children at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution that provides care to more than 107,000 children each year. It has been named one of Nation’s Top 10 Best Children’s Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report for 7 consecutive years!
If you purchased Garrison Collection flooring this year, or bought from any of our esteemed partners below, we want you to know that we appreciate you, and a percentage of your investment in beautiful new floors is now going to support the kids!
OUR GOAL: To double the impact we made last year! Last year we filled one large truck full of toys, this year we want to fill TWO!
OUR TEAM: The Garrison Collection, Bostik, DriTac, El & El Wood Products, DuraSeal, Macon Hardwood, Dayspring Inc., Powernail, A&A Wiping Cloth, Celebrity Pink USA, The Toy Professor… and YOU!
If you would like to get even more involved in the fun, here are several options. All donation must be made by December 16, 2015.
Donate Toys
If you happen to live in the Los Angeles area and would like to hand pick some toys, we would LOVE to meet you! Please email us for your nearest drop off location.
Below are the criteria that CHLA requests that you follow when making your toy donations, to help maintain patient safety and well-being.
– To prevent infection, they will only accept new toys, books and DVDs.
– They cannot accept stuffed toys or toys with small pellets or beans.
– Toys should be sturdy and free of any parts which may pinch.
– Please avoid toys which can break easily and leave sharp edges (i.e. made of glass or brittle plastic).
– They do NOT accept or distribute toys that are designed to promote aggressive behaviors (e.g. toy weapons of any kind, or violent video games or movies).
– All craft materials must be non-toxic (e.g., markers, glue, paint).
Donate Gift Cards
The Children’s Hospital also loves gift cards! In addition to helping with space, gift cards allow CHLA to maximize your gift because they”provide our staff with the flexibility to make ‘on-demand’ toy purchases as they are needed by our patients. If a particular patient would benefit less from a toy and more from an educational game or book, we might be able to distribute a gift card to that patient as a gift from you to them during their recovery.” Preferred gift cards include:
– Target
– Walmart
– iTunes
– Amazon
Gift cards may be mailed to the following address or you can email us for your nearest drop off location. Mailing address:
The Garrison Collection
17216 Saticoy St. #175
Van Nuys, CA 91406
