Used Toy Drive for Wings of Hope Community Art Project

The Jewish Federation of Omaha invites the community to participate in the Wings of Hope Community Art Project; a meaningful initiative created in memory of the victims of the October 7 attacks. From September 4 through October 2, we are collecting used plastic toys to be incorporated into an art installation. The completed sculpture will serve as a lasting memorial and a powerful symbol of hope.

Bring in items by October 4.

 

Toys can be dropped off in the  donation bins at the Front Entrance or the Pennie Z. Davis Early Learning Center.

We are looking for used and broken toys that are colorful, small, and made of hard plastic. Examples include: 

  • small plastic figures
  • plastic animals
  • toy cars and trucks
  • mini toys
  • building blocks
  • puzzle pieces
  • parts of toys

Please do NOT donate plush or soft toys. These cannot be used in the project.
