🎁 Help Us Help Others & Put Smiles on Little Faces! 🎁

In celebration of the upcoming release of Toy Story 5, the Cranford Theater is hosting a Toy Drive to benefit the incredible children at Children’s Specialized Hospital.

We invite our community to join us in making a difference by donating a new, unwrapped toy for boys and girls of all ages. Every toy collected will help bring joy, comfort, and smiles to children who need it most.

Donations can be dropped off at the Cranford Theater during operating hours, or if it’s easier, you can ship a toy directly to the theater.

Our goal is simple: fill our lobby with toys and spread a little happiness to as many children as possible.

Thank you for helping us help others. Together, we can make a difference, one toy at a time. ❤️
