I worked with Andrew and his team last Christmas at Feddersen Recreation Center here in Columbus, Ohio. He and his team were amazing. They are and were professional, organized and came with hearts to serve and give. The children that they provided toys to were so excited, happy and grateful.From the set up in the multi purpose room to the day of the toy drive everything was done in order and with organization. They allowed us as City employees to help them, where many had not served in such a way. Personally, it was an amazing experience to volunteer, serve and service my community along side Andrew and his team of amazing volunteers.
I love this organization from the bottom of my heart back in 2015 this organization did so much for my family during the holidays for thanksgiving and Christmas it was really a blessing having a helping hand from giggles & coos
This is one of the most beautiful organizations I have every seen put together I remember when they first started to see them come this far is amazing
I love this non profit organization every year they bring so much joy to my heart seeing them give back to the community is a blessing
I have been helping my uncle (y’all know him as Andrew) for almost 6+ plus years with his non-organization and when I say this is one of the best non-profit organizations I have seen in my state I mean that from the bottom of my heart from the toy drives every year to the thanksgiving drive it just brings so much joy to one’s heart even being in the position I am to see people helped like is a blessing it touches my heart every year even when I’m not there to help I still try to help because the organization touches people hearts in ways you couldn’t even imagine it’s really truly a blessing I’m glad to be apart of it and even happier that my uncle has started that will last for years to come
This is most honest organization I have encountered they make sure all the proceeds are used for the right thing and they always doing the right thing
Great organization to work with. We orchestrated a fundraising event and for the Annual Turkey giveaway and Annual Toy giveaway. I was able to work beside the organization’s staff and see the love abd dedication they put into serving the community! Can’t wait until the next event. We will continue to donate to this organization and their cause!
I’ve had the pleasure of joining and helping Giggles & Coos with both the Thanksgiving Turkey giveaway and the Christmas Toy Drive and giveaway. It was such a joy to be apart of a wonderful organization. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the families served was priceless. I look forward to more future events held by this organization. Thank you Andrew for being a blessing to all those around you!
I had the pleasure to work with Giggle and Coos the Christmas season of 2020. It was amazing to see how much they cared for the children. Made sure that no child was left out. They went absolutely above and beyond. They really understand the spirit of the Christmas season. The importance of caring for children and families in need. Doing whatever it takes to make sure everyone is included and happy. I can’t wait to do it again this year.
Giggles & Coos is one of the best non profits there is, I had the amazing opportunity to help volunteer at many of their events helping children during the Christmas season. It felt so great to see all the excitement and smiles from the children receiving toys throughout the year, I can’t wait to do it again this year!
This organization has been around for quite a while. It has been an inspiration for many, as a pastor I have seen first-hand the impact on the community this organization has made. The founder Andrew Thomas has gone above and beyond, by making sure families, children, and the community have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have seen him go into his personal funds and give to his community. He has stayed up hours smoking turkeys, and during Christmas Season works tirelessly and endlessly to make sure every child receives a toy for Christmas. The organization is instrumental in donating school supplies, backpacks, and free haircuts for a new school year. It is a tremendous amount of labor and heart that goes into giving back. It is this organization passionate to share kindness in an unprecedented time.
We are proud to contribute our monetary donations and be part of such a great Organization. If your looking for somewhere to donate and be assured that it’s going to the right cause we’ll look no further this is the organization!
A Organzation that is all about the community and giving. The transparency and accountability of the donations is what we appreciate and look for in any nonprofit organization.

Each event is always far more than I ever expected, with the friendly services and amazing generosity. You can tell the level of concern and care that goes into every event. Also Giggle &Coos is very proffessional and handles all sistuations with great respect. I give them any easy 5 star rating and would highly recommend them.

I recommend if your in the Columbus, Ohio area to volunteer, donate, or attend any of there events and you’ll be a testament of their works also!
Andrew Thomas and Giggles & Coos has and continues to make a significant difference in the Columbus community. My wife and I have worked alongside him and others at some of his events. It was amazing to see so many people come together to serve and give back to the community they love. As a personal friend of Andrew's, I can speak on his character and know his heart is in serving others. Giggles & Coos is a valuable organization that is truly making a difference. For those looking to volunteer, my recommendation is you start here.

I was able to experiment this movement this past holiday season! To see the amount of donations and volunteers that were able to help families in need was truly amazing. There were mounds and mounds of toys and games to where everyone would have a wonderful Christmas! They were well organized and on top of everything. You could tell everyone apart of the team truly have their heart and soul in it!
Giggles & Coos has truly been a great help and a blessing to families in need throughout the year. This year I had a friend that was in need and could attend one of the events, the Founder himself got in touch with me and said that because it was a special circumstance i could come stand in their place. So often we hear that organizations are here to help the community but the actions don't necessarily line up with the vision. Giggles & Coos is the exception and I have seen it with my own eyes that they will go above and beyond for the community and especially anything involving the upbringing of our children. Thank you so much for everything you guys do. Please continue to post your events on Facebook and your website and I will keep coming! :)
This organization does so many great things for the community, they really help those in need and has helped bring happiness and hope to those who need it they make others feel like there is still someone who cares for the unfortunate and not just them but everyone.

I honestly love this organization and everything it stands for and does. I can say that 100% of the donations are put towards the organizations youth that are involved! If you are looking to donate towards a great cause and honest organization Giggles & Coos is the organization!!!

Giggles & Coos is a phenomenal organization. I love the fact that they are family oriented. Is awesome and a blessing that they're able to give back to the less fortunate also it's a blessing for them to be able to let children of the parents that didnt think they were going to be able to afford activities an sport's be able to participate. It's almost like a dream come true for some children.
Giggles & Coos is an amazing organization that is passionate about serving poverty stricken communities. This was the first time we had an opportunity to be apart of this amazing organization, during their annual Christmas Toy Drive. It was this experience that changed the lives of myself and my teenage son. Since volunteering for this event, it has inspired us to get more active in the community year round. Thank you Giggle and Coos for all you do to improve lives for the less fortunate
This organization is a caring family organization. They teach love, family and caring values. We need more organizations like Giggles and Coos.
First I like to say that the organization is a not just a an organization it is a family and it treats it's clients as family members. Not just on the holidays but everyday. Giggles and Coos. Stand for the community and i will support and continue to be apart of it.
This organization started with a dream and was built from a lot of hard work , sweat and time no one will ever truly understand . To be able to witness the transformation and the dream become reality right before our eyes is something amazing. Our community is blessing to have someone we can count on in time of need. May God continue to bless and order your footsteps.

So Amazing. ....... Knowing this man since the day he moved to Ohio and his awesome transformation has been nothing but great. The organization that has been created had me in tears as I volunteered my time during the Christmas season. Why did I cry? Because it was my childhood communitu and because I see this man that stands so tall but so worried about if the kids will be satisfied. So awesome. SO AMAZING. So many SMILES

I see nothing but success in the future because of the hard work and willingness that is put into helping these families and the community.

Giggles & Coos is a fantastic organization that serves an underserved population. I have seen the effect of the work they do. Every year hordes of people turn out to volunteer, recieve gifts, or just witness the amazing effects of community service. I believe their presence in Columbus is a real blessing.
Raising two grandchildren & those happy little faces when they got to pick out a toy for Christmas...heartwarming ....I saw the same happy little faces all around me that day so they made a difference in so many children's life with that act of kindness,also the parents were visibly happy to watch their children receive gifts.
Watching him transform right before my eyes over the years has brought great joy as his pastor. To see him endlessly gives his time and self is remarkable. His ability to tap into the heart of the community and go about to make a change, shows his true character. He continues to be a blessing to the ministry and his community. Godspeed Andrew!
