Toys can be dropped off now through December 21, 2016 at the West End Community Center, 109 Bucklin Street in Providence, Monday through Friday, 6:30am – 5:30pm. Donations can also be dropped off at RIPTA’s Headquarters, 705 Elmwood Avenue in Providence, Monday through Friday, 8:30am – 4:30pm.  The West End Community Center is a  non-profit, charitable organization, and donations are tax deductible.
