One of our most beloved events is Dumas Wesley’s Annual Christmas Toy Store. In 2024, the Toy Store served 120 children from eligible low-income families and homeless residents living in Dumas Wesley’s transitional housing programs, the Sybil Smith Family Village and the Baldwin Family Village. The Toy Store allows parents an opportunity to purchase new toys and bikes for Christmas at a fraction of their retail value. All proceeds benefit our After School Achievement Program and Neighborhood Outreach Program.
