GŪD Essence Launches Holiday Toy Drive to Support Children in Foster Care
This holiday season, GŪD Essence is proud to give back to the Clearwater community through a holiday toy drive benefiting Suncoast Voices for Children, a nonprofit serving children in foster care across Pinellas and Pasco counties.
As a Black woman-owned cannabis and wellness brand, community care is central to who we are. From now through December 23, we invite our patients, team members, and neighbors to help us spread joy by donating new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0–17.
How the Toy Drive Works
Donations can be dropped off at the GŪD Essence Clearwater dispensary during regular store hours, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
To make an even greater impact, GŪD Essence is matching all toy donations—doubling the number of toys that will reach children this holiday season.
Every item collected will be delivered directly to Suncoast Voices for Children by December 23 to ensure gifts arrive in time for the holidays.
Why Suncoast Voices for Children Matters
Suncoast Voices for Children is dedicated to meeting the unmet needs of children in foster care. Their work supports youth who often face uncertainty during the holidays, helping ensure they feel seen, valued, and cared for.
Partnering with organizations like Suncoast Voices aligns with our belief that cannabis businesses should serve their communities beyond the dispensary.
Community Is at the Heart of GŪD Essence
At GŪD Essence, wellness extends beyond products—it includes compassion, responsibility, and action. This toy drive reflects our ongoing commitment to:
community support
family well-being
local partnerships
meaningful impact
We’re grateful to everyone who joins us in making the holidays brighter for children in our community.
Join Us in Giving Back
Whether you donate one toy or many, your generosity helps create moments of joy and comfort for children who need it most.
