Child abuse, a harrowing reality that haunts our society, casts a dark shadow over the innocent and defenseless. This distressing phenomenon encompasses various forms of maltreatment, including physical, emotional, sexual, and neglectful acts perpetrated against children. Tragically, the scars of abuse run deep, leaving enduring impacts on a child’s physical and mental well-being, hindering their emotional development, and shattering their sense of safety and trust. As a collective responsibility, it is imperative that we confront this grave issue head-on, fostering awareness, providing support, and advocating for measures that safeguard every child’s right to a nurturing and violence-free environment.
In the battle against child abuse, one organization stands as a beacon of hope and healing – LaCasa. With unwavering dedication, LaCasa tirelessly works to empower survivors, provide essential resources, and raise awareness, fostering a community committed to breaking the cycle of abuse and nurturing a future where every child thrives in a safe and loving environment.
As LaCasa continues its noble mission to combat child abuse and uplift survivors, they are thrilled to announce their upcoming fundraiser – the Starry Night Toy Drive. This heartwarming event not only spreads joy and cheer during the festive season but also gives the community an opportunity to come together and make a meaningful difference in the lives of children who have endured hardships. Join the Starry Night Toy Drive and be a part of brightening the lives of these brave young souls with the magic of compassion and generosity.
You can help brighten the holidays for children at LACASA Center by joining our annual Starry Night Holiday Toy Drive.
Bring a new, unwrapped toy—or a gift card for tweens & teens—to our charity resale boutique, the LACASA Collection.
Your new toy or gift card donation will bring a smile to the faces of children and teens at LACASA’s Crisis Shelter and Children’s Counseling Center. In addition, parents who are clients at LACASA receive toy shopping vouchers, which ensure Santa’s sleigh is stocked with everything needed for the big holiday ride.
November 1 – December 16, 2023
How it works:
Bring your gift donation to the LACASA Collection
Place a new, unwrapped toy under the giving tree or hang a gift card on the tree
Write your name or initials on a star ornament

In return, you receive a 50% off coupon for one item in the store (Excludes furniture)
Parents and grandparents are welcome to include the whole family when they bring in their toy drive donations. Children of all ages enjoy making a star and hanging it on the tree. It’s a nice way for young people to learn about helping others during the holiday season.
