Toy Project for the Salvation Army

Every year Valley Woodworkers members make hundreds of toys to donate to the Salvation Army. Through the years, hundreds of area children have received rocking horses, wagons, cradles, wood blocks and much more. To date there have been a total of 4,853 toys made and donated, worth an estimated retail value of $478,305.
