The Rotary Club of Florence and Steinford Toy Foundation have joined forces again in 2020 in order to bring joy this holiday season to thousands of children in Northern Kentucky. Donations of unwrapped new or gently used toys are being received at the locations listed below. Donations will be accepted through Monday, December 7th.
“Our community cares and Christmas joy is needed more than ever. Please drop new toys off at any of the listed locations between November 23rd and December 7th. Our Rotary Club of Florence volunteer team will pick-up and send your gifts to the Steinford Toy Foundation. In turn, your donated toys will be delivered by Steinford Toy Foundation volunteers directly to children to brighten Christmas and bless over 3,000 children in Northern Kentucky!“ states Rotary Club of Florence Project Chairperson Roger Babik of Master Provisions. 
During the Great Depression, a Northern Kentucky couple, Rose and George Steinford, witnessed many needy children in their neighborhood who were not experiencing the joys of Christmas. Rose and George, who had no children of their own, assumed the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus by purchasing, repairing and distributing used toys to these children. Today, that tradition is continued through the Steinford Toy Foundation, founded in 1973, and the Foundation’s volunteers that collect and distribute the toys.
