The Send a Child on the Jolly Trolley Scholarship helps bring movement, play, and joy to children who would not otherwise have access to enrichment programs.
This scholarship supports children facing financial hardship in our community. Through this fund, children are able to experience the same laughter, confidence, and magic that families see on the Jolly Trolley every week.
Your donation goes directly toward providing scholarships for classes and visits that create safe, joyful, and meaningful moments for children who need them most. Every gift makes a difference. One child at a time.

The Jolly Trolley Foundation collects toys year-round to support the children we serve in shelters and transitional housing across Houston. Many of the children we visit arrive with little more than the clothes they are wearing and have no personal belongings of their own.
Your donation helps us provide brand-new toys, games, and comfort

While the holidays bring especially magical moments, the need for joy and belonging exists every day. Year-round toy donations allow us to respond immediately when children need something of their own.
Thank you for helping us bring comfort, play, and joy to children when they need it most.
I was working the night shift at Metro when The Jolly Trolley came to visit my son’s nighttime daycare. I didn’t get to see it myself, but the next morning, my 3-year-old couldn’t stop talking about ‘the big red trolley’ and how he got to jump, spin, and play like a superhero. It was the first thing he told me when I walked through the door.
The staff said he laughed the whole time and even made a new friend during the story circle. As a single mom working long nights, I often worry about what my child is missing out on, but that night, he got to just be a happy little boy. I cried hearing about it.
The Jolly Trolley gave him a moment of magic, and gave me the comfort of knowing he was seen, cared for, and celebrated, even while I couldn’t be there myself.
Please keep this program going. Kids like mine, and parents like me, need it more than you know.
