Toys for Joy has grown!
To celebrate 40 years of distributing toys, Toys for Joy has expanded their reach into Southern Anoka County! That means that residents of Columbia Heights, Fridley, Hilltop, and Spring Lake Park are now eligible to apply to receive toys, games, puzzles, and holiday meal fixings through Toys for Joy.
