Step2

Step2 was featured on Lifetime‘s Designing Spaces as part of the Miracle Makeovers To Remember series. Step2 and sister company Infantino donated numerous toys to help revamp the Infant Toddler Playroom at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. After getting a behind the scenes look in May, we were excited to see the outcome!

The tornadoes that hit the South this Spring impacted many people, including children. Play areas were destroyed impacting children’s ability to go out, play and just be kids.

In an effort to help the victims of the tornadoes, Step2 teamed up with Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc. (K.I.D.S.) to donate 23 slides. Step2 is proud to partner with this organization, which brings hope and self-esteem to more than 4.5 million children and their families each year by providing new clothes, shoes, toys, furniture, books and juvenile products donated by manufacturers and retailers.

The donations are distributed through a network of nearly 1,000 local community social service agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The efforts of K.I.D.S. reach children who are challenged by poverty, homelessness, domestic abuse, low literacy, military family service, major illness, incarcerated family members and disaster survival.
