The events are generally scheduled from September through May. Some groups do have events throughout the summer. Our interest groups are designed to promote an atmosphere to develop friendships, an opportunity to volunteer and a way to learn new things.

Toymakers have made toys since 1936 for children who need comforting. Our toys go to the Dahlberg-Gibson Learning Center, Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities, St. Vincent Family Center, OSU Hospitals, and Columbus Alzheimer Center.
We have jobs for all skill levels and interests in the production of toys which can be sent through CT scans, MRIs, etc. Come join us and choose a job. They’re all very important: cutting, sewing, stuffing,
painting faces, tying bows, or whatever else is needed to finish the product.

Although 2020 has been a year like no other, volunteers, working from home, created these wonderful toys for donation.
