While some may say “it’s not even Halloween yet” Kim and I have been gearing up for Howard and Cooper County Toys for Tots for weeks now! Applications are open on the website, and we ALREADY have close to 100 kids signed up.
With that being said, if you can spare funds to help us provide Christmas to these families, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Donations of 💵 and/or toys can be dropped off Abowk Florist or mailed to Toys for Tots, c/o of A-bow-k, 115 west Ashley rd, Boonville with checks made out to Toys for Tots. ALL donations stay local.

When you are giving to Toys for Tots, you are not only giving a child an item off of their wishlist, you are showing them - the children and the families - that there is hope and goodness in this world. People are struggling, and being able to give a single parent items for her child/children can relieve a lot of burden off of them. So, if you have extra funds, please donate. If you don’t, and need assistance, we would love to help you!

AND you can start sending them NOW!! It helps us know what we have and then figure out what we have left to get. It also helps us to get items out sooner, so that we can enjoy the holidays with our own families 😬

I have created an Amazon list of things that are frequently asked for for Toys for Tots.
These are only suggestions, but felt this may be easier for some wanting to donate. The items will ship directly to us.
Feel free to share!!

Did you know Toys for Tots can take monetary and toy donations all year long?!
If you’re out and about and see toys on sale, feel free to get them and bring them to A-Bow-K. Have checks or cash to donate? You can leave them there, as well 😬 🎄

The old saying goes “It takes a village”
We are calling on our village!!!
We are currently tapping in to next year’s funds just to get through this year. Application numbers are HIGH and donations are LOW.
We are currently (like last week 😬) needing items for 10-18 year old girls and 7-9 year old boys, as well as items for 2 and under. We understand that times are tough this year, but if you have anything to offer, we could use it!
Not sure what to purchase? Financial donations are welcome!
Financial and physical donations 100% stay within our local Cooper and Howard Counties.
You can contact me or Kim at Abowk Florist
For those who have already donated, THANK YOU! You are a blessing to the kiddos in our community ❤️

Thank you to Boonville Women’s Club for the toy drive and monetary donation to Toys for Tots!! We absolutely could not do what we do for the kids in our community without the funding of local Individuals, businesses and clubs. Thank you for all you do for us!
