Financial Donations

Yes, we are a federally approved 501(c)(3) charity founded for both charitable and educational purposes, and all donations will be tax-deductible by law.

We are currently accepting toy donations on a case-by-case basis. 

Please email caroline@fingerlakestoylibrary.org with details of what you'd like to donate.

While we may not be able to accept all donations, we will do our best to give your toys a new home! 

We typically accept donations of excellent condition used toys. We also welcome newly purchased toys, which would be best purchased at one of several local toy stores in order to support our local economy.  

• Currently Accepting: high-quality, environmentally-friendly, gender-neutral, educational, non-media based toys, board games, musical instruments, costumes, and especially toys that encourage open-ended, creative, and imaginative play.

• Not Accepting: toys based on television or movie characters, battery-operated toys, stuffed animals, books. We also cannot accept older toys if they are painted.

Please be sure toys that you would like to donate contain all of their parts, are clean, and in good working condition before bringing them to the toy library. 

If you are unsure about whether your toys are suitable for the toy library collection please contact us, we are more than happy to answer any questions!

We can always use more plastic storage bins , particularly between 6qt and 20qt capacity.

Currently, we are also in need of a wire shelving unit (approx. 18" x 90" x 72"), preferably on wheels
