Toys for Happiness 2008

United Way of York County, SC and WRHI Radio Station began a holiday toy assistance program over 20 years ago to help the families of York County provide magical holiday memories for their children. 

Currently, more than 2,700 children have been signed up through the Toys for Happiness program alone - a 58% increase in children from 2007.  We are currently accepting more families on a waiting list and hope to help them, as well. 

The Toys for Happiness program depends on the generosity of the community, either through financial or toy donations and/or through volunteering in the toy warehouse. You can be a part of providing holiday magic to an under priviledged child in York County through your gift of time or treasure.  


"Thank you - this was a blessing for my family. Thank you."
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!"
"I appreciate everything you all have done for my children this year. Without you they would not of had a Christmas.  Thank you!"
