Make a Difference: Donate Toys and Support Autism Therapy

Posted on: October 20, 2025 | Category: Autism Support

This holiday season, UNIFI Autism Care is proud to partner with the Very Gary Foundation and Toys for Tots for the Christmas of Many Colors Toy Drive across our Evansville and Mishawaka autism therapy centers. This collaboration gives families in our communities a joyful way to give back while spreading awareness about the importance of compassionate autism therapy in Indiana.

 

Why This Toy Drive Matters

Many children in underserved communities miss out on the joy and creativity that come from receiving meaningful toys during the holidays. Through this partnership, we aim to bring happiness, imagination, and learning to kids from infants through 15 years of age.

The Very Gary Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, advocates for every child’s right to creativity, education, and care. Their mission closely aligns with our own — creating inclusive spaces where children of all abilities can thrive and grow.

What We’re Collecting and How You Can Help

We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys that encourage learning, creativity, and fun — including:

• Books, puzzles, and board games
• Building sets, STEM kits, and art supplies
• Electronics, handheld consoles, and family-friendly games
• Teen gifts, which are especially needed during the holidays

 

How to donate:

1. Drop off toys at our Evansville or Mishawaka centers — look for the clearly marked collection boxes near the entrances.
2. Prefer to shop online? You can send gifts directly to us via our Amazon Wishlist. Click here to view and shop the Amazon Wishlist

Donations will be accepted through December 5, 2025 — so now’s the perfect time to give!

 

Boosting Community Awareness and Connection

At UNIFI Autism Care, we believe that community engagement starts with compassion. The Very Gary Foundation and Toys for Tots Toy Drive not only brightens the holidays for children but also strengthens awareness of the vital autism support available right here in our Indiana communities.

Every donation — whether it’s a small toy or a full bag of gifts — helps families see what UNIFI Autism Care stands for: inclusion, early intervention, and compassionate support for every child’s growth. By participating in the toy drive, families and community members also learn about the resources, therapies, and personalized care our team provides at our Evansville and Mishawaka centers.

We encourage everyone to help us make this initiative a success:

• Share the toy drive and Amazon Wishlist link with your network.
• Visit one of our centers to drop off toys and learn more about our programs.
• Connect with our team to explore how our autism therapy services in Indiana supports children and families year-round.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more supportive community — one act of kindness at a time.
