Ways to get involved
MUST Ministries Christmas Toy Shop mimics a small department store and we use many volunteers to make
this happen both in our Toy Shops and behind the scenes.
If you have a group and would like to volunteer for the MUST Ministries Toy Shop, please send your leader to
one of the Toy Shop Orientations to get all the information and select a shift.

Off Site Projected – needed the most
While the Toy Shop is getting set up and running, we need items daily. Just like a store, we run low or even out
of items from time to time. Unlike a store that gets to order items, we stock our shelves with donated items.
Please consider selecting one of the Off Site Projects for your group.
Stocking Stuffing:
Take a pair of socks – place one sock into the other and push it to the bottom of the sock (that way the child will
have a complete pair of socks). Place small items within the sock (hygiene items, small toys, nail polish,
playing cards, and toothbrush). Tie the top with a ribbon (pink for girls, blue for boys) please follow our
breakdown of ages and mark the box or bag these items are delivered in. 0 – 4 / 5 – 8 / 9 – 12 / 13 – 18.
Please NO candy or razors in the stockings. We like to offer each child of our 3100 children a stocking. We
need as many groups as possible to make stockings for us.
Do a Book Drive:
While you are collecting books – if it is a book that you have read and enjoyed – leave a note for the next
person telling them where the good parts are or the way you connected with a character. Please remember do
not write your note in the book, but use a piece of paper or blank card.
Make a Christmas Card for a Family:
This is another very important part of MUST Christmas Toy Shop. The families that come to us during this
holiday season may not be feeling loved. This card project is the perfect way you can show them that not only
does our Savior love them, but also you do too. When making these homemade cards, please remember to sign
it with ONLY your first name. We will pass them out to the families as they leave our Toy Shop with their
goodies.

Baby Boxes:
Christmas is fun for ALL ages. Many moms have multiple children and MUST would like something for
everyone under the tree. With the smallest of the family is sometimes 1 or 2 months old, we have created a box
that has both needs and toys in it for the baby of the family. Please select about 7 (or more) items from the list
below and place it in a box that has been wrapped in pretty Christmas paper (from the outside only – so the
items are still in view).
