An exciting change is coming for our 2024 season! Check back here for details as we organize this new event.
The Harlem Valley Compassion Connection, Inc is happy to help parents and guardians provide holiday toys and gifts to local children in need. We assist low-income families as well as those who may have experienced emergencies or parent/guardian underemployment. To be eligible, children must reside within the Town of Dover (Wingdale, Dover) or the Town of Amenia (Wassaic, Amenia) and the recipients of the toys must be from ages newborn through 17. School aged children must attend school in the Dover or Webutuck School District.
Our 2024 Holiday Gift Drive will run from November 1st through December 1st.
We have chosen to run our Holiday Drives a little differently this year to make sure that we can help as many families as possible in more specific ways. This year, we are organizing an Adopt-a-Family drive for families in the Dover and Webutuck School Districts. You will see one flier that lists all donation information, sign ups, and pick ups.
We also accept monetary donations of cash, check, Venmo payments, and gift cards that we can use to purchase gifts that are needed most. (Checks should be made out to Harlem Valley Compassion Connection, Inc).
Toy Drive Coordinators:
We do not discriminate based on age, education, sex, gender, ability, or disability.
We assist low-income families as well as those who may have experienced emergencies or parent/guardian underemployment. Eligible families and children must reside in Wingdale, Dover Plains, Wassaic, or Amenia, NY. Beneficiaries of the toys and gifts must be ages newborn through 17 and attend school in the Dover or Webutuck School District. Immediate family only.

Toys - Gifts - Stocking Stuffers
Donation Bins
Please remember that the recipients are between ages newborn through 17. While it may be easier to purchase toys for toddlers and the younger kids, please remember that we are often scrambling for gifts in the eleventh hour for tweens and teens and sometimes infants. We get it. You don't know what to buy. Consider a gift card or reach out to us for suggestions. Check our Facebook page. We may have ideas or we may have had requests.
As we confirm placement of our Angel Trees, we will list those businesses and organizations here. If you would like to host a tree, please reach out to us and we will get you one.
2024 Angel Trees Will Be Found in the Following Local Businesses:
Amenia
Wassaic
Dover Plains
Wingdale
Gift Cards
We do accept gift cards to pass along to the families. If you would like to donate gift cards and are insecure about placing them in the bins, contact us and we will accept them directly.
Monetary Donations - Leave it up to us
We accept donations of cash, check, money order, and Venmo for any denomination that you would like to give. All donations that we receive are spent on toys and gifts for this drive.
