Why Toledo Newsboys?

 

We are more than an organization providing clothing. We are a symbol of community unity, an immediate response to a pressing need, and a torchbearer of a long-standing legacy of compassion.

Without your support, many children in our community will face the winter without essentials like coats and boots. By partnering with us, you can help us continue our legacy of warmth and hope. Ignite a spark of change and join us in ensuring that no child in Toledo is left out in the cold.
