LACASA Launches Annual “Starry Night Toy Drive” for Local Children in Need

Gift card/toy collection will run November 1 – December 14

HOWELL, MI - LACASA Center officially kicks off its annual Starry Night Toy Drive on Saturday, November 1, collecting gift cards, and new, unwrapped toys, gifts, to ensure every child served by the organization experiences the magic of the holiday season.

Each year, LACASA provides holiday gifts for dozens of local children and teens who have experienced domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual violence. The donated toys and gifts are shared with families receiving services at LACASA and distributed during the organization’s annual Children’s Holiday Party, a festive celebration designed to bring joy, comfort, and connection to young survivors.

Donations can be dropped off at LACASA Collection, the charity resale boutique located at the Kensington Valley Outlets in Howell, during regular store hours. The Starry Night Toy Drive will run through Sunday, December 14.
While toys of all kinds are welcome, there is a special need this year for gift cards and gifts for older kids and teens, who are often the most difficult age group to shop for.

“For the children and teens we serve, the holidays can be a challenging time,” said LACASA President & CEO Bobette Schrandt. “The Starry Night Toy Drive allows our community to remind these young people that they are seen, valued, and loved. Every donation, large or small, helps make the season brighter for a child who has been through so much.”

The Starry Night Toy Drive is a cherished tradition at LACASA, symbolizing the hope and healing that the organization strives to bring to every survivor it serves.
