Join us December the 15th through the 21st

Join us Sunday, December 21 2025 for Missoula’s Magic Season of Giving — a community celebration of abundance, kindness and sustainability. Together with This Old Frat House and the United Nations Association Montana Chapter, we’re inviting you to bring gently used toys, games or small gifts, or to come and pick up pre-loved items free of charge, giving them a second life and sharing joy across our neighborhood. This event is grounded in the belief that when we give from our abundance, rather than contributing to waste or sending items to overpriced thrift stores, we help our environment — and our community — thrive.

Why does toy-sharing matter? The toy industry is heavily plastic-intensive, with nearly 80 % of toys ending up in landfills, incinerators or the ocean, and toys making up as much as 6 % of global landfill plastics. By redistributing and re-using toys, we reduce waste, lessen environmental strain, and promote the health of our community.

At the United Nations Association of Montana, our goal through Missoula’s Magic Season of Giving is to turn compassion into sustainable action — reducing waste, strengthening resilience, and proving that community support can be both generous and environmentally responsible. Together, we’re building a model of shared abundance that uplifts families and protects our planet.

Volunteer: Sort, display or staff the toy-sharing tables

Donate: Bring clean, gently used toys or games in good condition.
