PRACTICAL INFORMATION

The Toy Bank is open three times a month, on Saturday mornings or Wednesday afternoons. The Toy Bank Apeldoorn Foundation "de Schatkist" offers the opportunity to select 2 toys and a book up to 4 times a year [every quarter] to children from 0 to 12 years old living in the municipality of Apeldoorn whose parents have a pass from the Food Bank or Straight Line. There is a nice group of people involved in the Treasury, they regularly help with the openings and cleaning. However, we could still use a lot of extra hands!! www.speelgoedbankapeldoorn.nl
