Craft Lake City Partners with Project Rainbow to Host a Toy Drive at Third Annual Holiday Craft Lake City Market in Ogden

Salt Lake City, UTNov. 15, 2021 Craft Lake City and Project Rainbow have partnered together to host a toy drive at the Third Annual Craft Lake City Holiday Market in Ogden. Every year Project Rainbow collects toys and clothing items to be given to local LGBTQ+ families in need for the holidays. Holiday Market attendees who bring a new toy or clothing item to the drive will be entered into a drawing with prizes being donated from Craft Lake City artisans. Attendees may consider purchasing products from Craft Lake City Holiday Market participants to donate. Project Rainbow and Craft Lake City are pleased to present the public with a means for supporting local LGBTQ+ families in need while shopping small and local this holiday season. 

“Project Rainbow is focused on uniting members of our community to support one another,” says Project Rainbow Executive Director Lucas Horns. “No matter your religion, background, or culture, the holidays are an opportune time for us to come together and show a little extra love to each other!”
