Annual Toy Drive in Pueblo

Since 2018, Kenzi’s Causes has been dedicated to supporting children and families in Pueblo through our Annual Toy Shop program, ensuring that every child in the community experiences the joy of receiving a new gift during the holiday season. Our mission each year is to brighten the holidays for 500 children by providing them with gifts that spread cheer and warmth.

What to Expect in 2024

Starting in 2024, each child from birth to 18 years old will receive:

  • A brand-new toy

  • A card game per family

All items distributed are new, ensuring that each gift is a special surprise for the children.
