Toy Like Me
Toy Like Me at Roanoke College is a coalition of students, student groups, faculty and staff working to modify toys to reflect disabilities and medical issues of children.
Our efforts include a great deal of fundraising so that we can purchase and modify as many toys as possible. Toy Like Me at Roanoke College is happy to receive tax-deductible donations through the Roanoke College Business Office.

Toy Modifications
Our hard-working volunteers have learned to modify toys to reflect a wide range of needs. Please note we don't feature photographs of children on our page. We are devoted to the children and families we serve, and can only keep our relationships with our partners at hospitals, clinics and schools if we respect their privacy.
