GIVING BACK
Through our toy donations, volunteer hours, and philanthropic efforts, we strive to make the world a better place for children.
At Melissa & Doug, we believe in sharing the power of play, whether it’s through in-kind toy donations, spending a playful day volunteering with our coworkers in the community, or supporting inclusive initiatives that help children thrive. Here are some of the ways we’re doing good in the world.
