Home Start, a local nonprofit committed to helping San Diego’s most underserved and vulnerable, is bringing cheer to local families in need during the holiday season by partnering with One Paseo for its annual holiday toy drive. The toy drive runs from now until December 13 at One Paseo (3725 Paseo Place, Carmel Valley, 92130). Members of the community can get into the holiday spirit by dropping off new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages. Wrapping supplies are also being accepted as a great addition to donations. The donation bin will be placed next to One Paseo’s red vintage Winter Studebaker Truck, next to the firepit. Donations can be made from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Once the toy drive wraps up, One Paseo’s trolley will transform into a gifting sleigh. Decked out with festive decor and filled with gifts collected from the community, Santa and team will drive the trolley down to Home Start’s Mission Valley headquarters parking lot. The toys will go to local families Home Start has worked with throughout the year to provide life-changing services including housing, parenting education, and therapy. Home Start serves children from infants to age 18, and One Paseo’s goal is to provide the Home Start team with hundreds of new, unwrapped gifts. “We are most grateful for One Paseo’s generous support and continued partnership,” Laura Tancredi-Baese, Home Start CEO, shares. “Together, One Paseo, its patrons, and team Home Start will help bring smiles to hundreds of deserving local children and parents this holiday season.” For more information about the Toy Drive, please visit https://www.onepaseo.com/events/home-start-toy-drive/.
