NCGV is now collecting toys for our annual "Peace Toys for War Toys Exchange" to be held December 10, 2009 in Durham, NC.
At our Toy Exchanges we invite parents to bring their preschool and elementary school, and even some middle school children to exchange their old “war toys” for brand-new “peace toys.” War toys are any type of violent toy, from toy guns and swords to violent video games. Peace toys are those that encourage creative, cooperative, nonviolent activities.
