A Letter From Lily

Our Mission

Wanting to help her community after Hurricane Harvey, Lily DuBose started collecting toy donations to give to kids whose belongings were lost in the storm. Since then, over 92,000 new toys have been given to kids going through difficult situations. To hear some of the stories from families impacted by Lily’s Toy Box, check out our testimonials!

Amazon and Lily’s Toy Box are working together

Lily’s Toy Box was contacted by Autumn Communications in August (they are a public relations company). They had some big news for us… Amazon wanted to partner with LTB! Amazon sent Lily 20 toys to review and then they generously gifted a huge toy donation! We couldn’t be more thankful to continue the gift of giving.Learning to run a non-for profit has had its ups and downs, but we have made so many new friends in places we’ve never imagined. Never in our wildest dreams did we think Amazon would notice an 11-year-old girl giving away toys for kids who just need a smile on their face.Thank you Amazon and Autumn Communications for believing in Lily’s Toy Box!

Ellen DeGeneres Knows About Lily’s Toy Box!

One of Lily’s “Bucket List To Do’s” was to have Ellen DeGeneres hear about Lily’s Toy Box. Guess what, IT HAPPENED! Lily was celebrated as one of Ellen & Cherrios One Million Acts of Good, Generation Good. Lily’s picture and a blurb about what she has been doing was on Ellentube. Jamie and I were so excited for Lily to get home from school so we could share the news with her. Later in the evening I asked Lily what she was feeling and Lily said “my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.” My dream for Lily is that her cheeks continue to hurt her entire life and that she never gets tired of sharing toys.
