THE EMILY MEYER FOUNDATION

The Emily Meyer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization created to support Emily’s Awesome Toy Drive and provide assistance to those in our community and surrounding areas.
In 2009, on Christmas night, Emily became ill and was rushed to a local hospital. The next morning, she received a bag full of toys from the Child Life Department. Their philosophy was, and still is, that no child should be sick during the holidays, but if they are, they should still feel the joy of the holiday season.

The very next year, Emily wanted to give back by collecting 20 new toys with her grandfather and delivering them to the very hospital she was in, just the year before. The rest is history!

In its 13th year, Emily’s Awesome Toy Drive continues to provide toys, games and activities to critically/chronically ill children and those with special needs as well as support local families in times of emergency!
