Miracle on Main Street
For 30 years, the Junior League has put on a “toy sale” in our community for families who might not otherwise have holiday gifts for their children over the holidays. Throughout the year, we collect new or gently-used toys, bikes, play houses, games, puzzles, dolls, and books. On the first Saturday of December, families bring an invitation provided by local community agencies and go through the toy store with a personal shopper.
The 2020 Miracle on Main Street event will take place on December 5, 2020 at the Naylor Building (5950 NW 1st Street, Gainesville, Florida) directly across from the mall.
