Toy and Gift Drive
Help reach 1,000 local children
Donate a toy and bring a smile to a child’s face this holiday season! Our goal is to provide to 400 local families (about 1,000 children) and we can’t do that without the support from caring individuals. See below for exact number of toys needed by age group.
ALL DROP-OFFS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Book your drop-off appointment ahead before spaces are filled.
The toy drive has ended for this year. Thank you to all who gave toys! If you would still like to contribute for 2022, you can give financially online here.
Sign-ups for drop-off appointments will open November 1st. Be sure to sign-up quickly before all available times are taken.
