Charity Drive Raffles
Be Original. Do Good. Those are our core tenets, and it is a part of everything we do. With that, we’re expanding the Holiday Nerd Market Charity Drive Raffles! This year we’re collecting toys for special needs and foster families, as well as food for the hungry.
Donate a toy or food, get a raffle ticket (or you can buy one this year), and make the holidays brighter for a child…and maybe win some cool prizes from local small businesses, event vendors, or from GAAM ourselves.
Toys will be distributed to the organizations below.
| Organization | List Link |

| Feeding Northeast Florida Feeding Northeast Florida is the largest, most efficient food bank serving Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam & St. Johns Counties. We work with retail partners, manufacturers, and farms to rescue high-quality food for those in need. | Link to List |
