In Alma, Arkansas, where economic hardship has long been at the forefront for families, a powerful spark of joy lit up the community thanks to a heartfelt collaboration between Hand to Hand Foundation, Good360, and the Toys for Tots Program.
The summer distribution event wasn’t just a moment—it was a movement of generosity. With over 8,800 toys provided to nearly 3,000 children, the initiative transformed front porches and living rooms into playgrounds of laughter and imagination. For families facing poverty, these gifts were more than toys. They were affirmations of hope and reminders that their community hadn’t forgotten them.
“A football! I’ve never had a football! I’ve always wanted one!” cried one child, clutching their new treasure with wide-eyed wonder. The sentiment rippled through the crowd, echoed by parents whose joy mirrored their children’s. Seeing their sons and daughters light up with delight stirred emotions that words could hardly capture.
The Hand to Hand team watched it unfold with deep gratitude. “It was incredibly rewarding to partner with Toys for Tots and Good360,” they shared. “To bring this kind of happiness to our area, knowing so many families wouldn’t have had access to such amazing toys—it’s a feeling we’ll never forget.”
In Alma, one generous act became a chain reaction of smiles. The impact lives on not just in the toys held tightly by little hands, but in the renewed spirit of a town reminded of its strength, its unity, and the kindness that fuels lasting change.
That is the power of Toys for Tots’ year-round mission.
