Rainbow Network Receives 6,000 Toys

Children receive toys from The Rainbow Network partners.

The Rainbow Network will soon receive a container full of 6,000 toys to be given to the children of Nicaragua for Christmas this year. The container, shipped directly from a supplier, is being donated by the organization, Cross International, with no cost to Rainbow Network for the toys.

 

But, Rainbow will be responsible for covering the shipping cost of this container – $4,300.

Please consider whether or not you would be able and willing to give $10 to help cover this cost of shipping and provide Christmas gifts to the children of Rainbow Network families in Nicaragua.

Donate to help us ship toys to 6,000 kids for Christmas.
