Maxey Elementary Toy Drive 2020

We Did It!


Goal: 92 Toys


Total Donated: 112 Toys


We were able to deliver 112 Toys to Maxey Elementary. These toys were sent home with students who were identified as having the greatest need. Because of you, our fellow Rotarians, these kiddos had a special gift to unwrap Christmas Day. Way to go Rotary Club of Horizon West!!

Special thanks to Emily Tornatore for being our on-call shopping pro! Emily braved the holiday crowds to get all of the last minute toys needed with funds donated from our generous club members.

Special thanks also goes to JoAnne Quarles, Bryan Fifer, Stephanie Lang and her daughter, as well as Tara Gomez and her daughter for spending their time  gift wrapping over 70 toys!

Thank you to all that donated and helped make our Maxey Elementary Toy Drive a huge success.

At Horizon West Rotary, one of our core values is supporting those who are making a real difference in the lives of others. We believe that when we come together as a community, we can uplift and empower those who need it most—and the organizations that serve them. One group that truly embodies this spirit is Matthew’s Hope Ministries . When the temperatures dropped earlier this year and many in our area were struggling to stay warm and safe, Matthew’s Hope didn’t hesitate. They stepped up in a big way, providing shelter, supplies, and support to over 100 individuals experiencing homelessness. Their dedication and compassion during such a critical time was nothing short of inspiring. As a club, we knew we wanted to do more than just say “thank you.” We wanted to take action. That’s why we’re proud to stand beside Matthew’s Hope Ministries and lend our support to the amazing work they do every day. When people care enough to make a difference, it deserves to be recognized—and reinforced by a community that believes in them. Together, we’re building a stronger, more compassionate Horizon West.
