Toy Donations

Donate toys to local kids through nonprofits? Thank you!

Alphabet Soup was pleased to partner with the Racker Center for the month of June and help collect toys for children with autism or other developmental disabilities as part of their Supporting Success program.  Keep a look out on social media to see our next great partnership - likely coming in November.

If you would like to order toys to donate, here are a few things to know:

• Your whole order will be donated. If you would like to order toys that are not for donation, please make a separate order.
• During checkout: When you get to the "Ship To" address, choose "Same as Billing"  (Toys will not be shipped to you; we will take care of donating them)
• Under "Shipping Method," check the box next to "Donate this order"
• You can also make purchases in person at Alphabet Soup in Downtown Ithaca.

How To:

1. Find out what is needed

You can donate any toys you want to and they will find a good home, but our nonprofit patner has made a special list with toys they know their kids will enjoy.

• Click on the Wish List tab at the top of the Home Page
• Click the "Search For A Wish List" button
• Enter the word, "Donate" in the name slot and click the Search button
• Select the "Donate Donate" list

2. Choose the toy you wish to donate

• Scroll through the Wish List until you find a toy you want to donate. Remember- no toy is too small to make a child's day! Any donation you can give will be much appreciated.
• Click the text that says "Add to cart" to the right of the toy you chose
• If you wish to make another selection, simply hit the back arrow and return to the Wish List

3.  Check Out

• Go to the checkout page and follow the steps there
• When you get to the "Ship To" address, choose "Same as Billing"  (Toys will not be shipped to you; we will take care of donating them)
• Under "Shipping Method," check the box next to "Donate this order"

THANK YOU!

Your donation is tax deductible. Your order will be shared with the nonprofit, who will send you an acknowledgment. Your information will not be shared with anyone else.

Thank you again for supporting local kids and for supporting a small business!

Alphabet Soup is pleased to have partnered with many local nonprofits like Cops, Kids & Toys and Family & Children's Service and GIAC and the Finger Lakes Toy Library to help bring toys to kids in need at Christmas time and throughout the year.  We have also worked with Girl Scout troops who have run their own toy drives.  If you or your organization are interested in partnering with us, contact us!
