Toy Rescue at JC Carter Park

📍 JC Carter Park | Fort Lauderdale, FL
🗓 Saturday, April 25, 2026 | ⏰ 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Join us for a FREE, family-friendly Toy Rescue Event in Fort Lauderdale as part of Fort Lauderdale Cares Day 2026—a community celebration focused on giving back, sustainability, and bringing families together 💚

If you’ve been looking for a fun, meaningful way to declutter your home, save money, and do something good for the planet, this is it.

A Toy Rescue is a community toy swap experience where families can:

✨ Bring gently used, outgrown toys (optional)
✨ Place them on our shared community table
✨ Let kids choose “new-to-them” toys to take home and enjoy

No money. No selling. No stress.
Just a simple, joyful way to keep toys in play and out of landfills.

Did you know that most toys are used for a short time and then thrown away?

At Toy Rescue events, we’re:

♻️ Extending the life of toys
🌎 Reducing waste in our community
💸 Helping families save money on kids’ items
🧠 Encouraging creativity, sharing, and imagination

Every toy rescued = one less toy headed to a landfill.

This special Fort Lauderdale family event will include:

🧸 Hundreds of toys ready to be rescued
📚 Books for kids of all ages
🎲 Games and interactive play
🎁 Fun prizes and surprises
🎶 A welcoming, community-focused atmosphere

Kids can play, explore, and pick out items they’re excited about—all at no cost.

✔️ Parents looking to declutter toys and kids items
✔️ Families who want to save money on toys, books, and games
✔️ Anyone interested in eco-friendly living and sustainability
✔️ Kids who LOVE discovering “new” toys

Whether you bring toys or not—you’re welcome here.
