The City of Wyoming will virtually host the 10th annual Wyoming Gives Back celebration through a live broadcast on Thursday, December 3 from 7–8 p.m. to benefit the Salvation Army Angel Tree Toy Drive.
Each year the City of Wyoming partners with local businesses to celebrate the holiday season and collect toys for the Salvation Army Angel Tree. Last year, more than 800 toys were collected for donation, and with the generous support of the participating businesses, the City raffled off nearly $4,000 in prizes.
Due to gathering constraints, the event has been reimagined as a virtual celebration after a month of toy donations. The event will feature local performances, a live Santa call line, drawings for prizes, and more! Community members will have the whole month of November to donate new, unwrapped toys to the Salvation Army Angel Tree. Donators will receive a raffle ticket in exchange for a chance to win prize packs that contain hundreds of dollars of gifts donated by Wyoming businesses.
Some local businesses are helping by hosting toy drop-off sites and issue raffle tickets to donors. People can bring new toys without gift wrapping to one of the businesses listed below. The businesses will give one raffle ticket per toy.
