Tiny Tim's Foundation for Kids is an incredible organization bringing joy to kids around the world! My students were able to help sand and oil 300 cars. As they learned about this organization and its mission, they felt inspired to find ways to serve others.

We met a very nice lady at Donut Star in South Jordan while we were on vacation a few weeks ago. She brought cars in for all of my 6 kiddos and it made their day! We live in Pittsburgh, PA and my kiddos were all adopted from foster care. After hearing a bit about your mission, my heart just melted. I love seeing all the joy you are bringing into the world! Keep up the great work and know that we will forever be big fans and loyal customers now too! Also, the cars are simply amazing and super cute!!

The kids and I LOVED donating our time at Tiny Tim's. All 4 of my kids said it was so much better than just staying home and watching a movie or playing video games. We will definitely be doing this every time we come to Utah.

A great place if you want a volunteer opportunity. Super well-organized operation with friendly employees to show you what to do. They can accommodate groups for simple tasks like tracing and easy painting, or would love people who know how to use woodworking tools for cutting out the cars. Their toy cars and clothing/blankets get sent around the world or to local kids. What an inspiring place!

Great mission and a fun place to help at! Teenagers and adults I've gone with really enjoy it. And the people who run it are passionate and love what they do.

I went with a group to Tiny Tim’s for a service project and it was a great experience. Volunteering was easy and very rewarding. I helped to build toy cars to be distributed to less fortunate children in developing nations. It’s a great place to give your time and effort to.

Founded in 1996, this organization's goal is to bring smiles to children's faces. They do that by giving out thousands of wooden toy cars to children in need all over the world. It is completely volunteer-run and every penny they receive from donations goes toward their mission. I was a part of a group that went to volunteer our time-we painted faces on dozens of cars. In addition to painting, volunteers can cut out the cars (after signing a waiver and getting some training on the various tools), assemble the wheels, paint, sand, quality control, etc. You can't help but leave feeling happier after working here, knowing that your efforts will make someone happy. Not only do they make toy cars, but they also sew blankets and clothing to donate to refugees or other people who need them. The staff that run the facility are eager to share their story and what they do-they take pride in their work and have refined the process to be as efficient as possible. Nothing goes to waste and they take advantage of opportunities to do things in mass, but still preserve the handmade nature of their craft. If you're looking for an organization to support-either monetarily or with your time-consider this one.
