How are local toy drives helping families in the Wildwoods & Cape May County this holiday season?
Here’s the good news: community‑driven efforts like the Lynch/GrYnch Toy Drive - run by the Lunch With Lynch Foundation - are making sure kids in the Wildwoods get holiday gifts when families might otherwise struggle.

What is the Lunch With Lynch Foundation and its Toy Drive?

• The Lunch With Lynch Foundation is a local nonprofit rooted in kindness and community support. They’ve grown beyond educational aid to include outreach, food support, and their signature holiday Toy Drive. 
• The Lynch/GrYnch Toy Drive is their annual holiday effort - a grassroots, “for locals, by locals” initiative that ensures all donations stay within the Wildwoods. 
• Over the years, the drive has delivered toys to thousands of children - spreading holiday joy and easing burdens for many families. 

How It Works - And How You Can Help

The Toy Drive accepts:

• New, unwrapped toys or games for children ages roughly 6-17. 
• Gift cards, or donations via PayPal, Venmo, check, or other payment methods - the Toy Drive team will shop for you if you prefer. 

You can drop off toys at multiple local collection points across the Wildwoods and Cape May County - making it easy whether you’re in Wildwood, North Wildwood, Wildwood Crest, Diamond Beach, or elsewhere. Lynch Toy Drive

Past events tied to the drive have also included family‑friendly gatherings: breakfasts with Santa and Mrs. Claus, community shopping events, and even a holiday 5K walk/run - all aimed at building spirit and community while collecting toys for kids. 

Why This Matters for the Wildwoods & Cape May County Community

• The Wildwoods have many families who work hard all year - and the holidays can bring extra financial stress. The Toy Drive helps ensure kids still experience joy and surprise, even when budgets are tight.
• As a real estate professional team serving the area, we believe in more than just homes - we believe in community. Initiatives like this reinforce the kind of caring, connected communities many buyers and long‑time residents are proud to call home.
• For seasonal residents, vacation‑home owners, or newcomers, giving back through a toy donation is a small act that can make a big difference locally.

How You Can Get Involved - It’s Easy

• Donate a new, unwrapped toy (or a gift card) for kids aged 6-17.
• Drop it off at one of the local collection points in the Wildwoods.
• Prefer to donate money instead of a toy? They’ll shop for you - just note that in the donation process.
• Share the word! Spread the message to neighbors, friends, and social media so more families can contribute - and more kids can benefit.
