Ribbon Cutting Jessy's Toy Box November 10, 2025

Jessy’s Toy Box is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing joy and comfort to children facing medical challenges. Through generous donations of new toys, books, games, and other fun items, the organization helps brighten the days of children in hospitals, emergency rooms, and treatment centers.
Jessy’s Toy Box is honored to receive a generous donation of more than 700 toys from the Venice START program. This incredible contribution reflects the power of community collaboration and the spirit of giving that defines the organization’s mission.
Toy Presentations at Ribbon Cutting
As part of the Venice START program’s ribbon cutting celebration, Jessy’s Toy Box will present toys to two local institutions that play vital roles in supporting children and families in the community:

Venice Fire Department
A selection of toys will be provided to the dedicated first responders at the Venice Fire Department, who will distribute them to children during emergency calls and community outreach events.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital
Hospital staff will receive toys to comfort and uplift young patients undergoing medical care, helping to brighten their stay and support their healing journey.

Jessy’s Toy Box extends heartfelt thanks to the Venice START program and all who continue to support its mission. Together, these efforts are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children when they need it most.

Enjoy complimentary refreshments and light bites.
