Toy Drive Box Collection Timeline:

Box drop-off begins: October 28
Box pick-up: December 15

Planning for our 2026 annual toy drive is beginning, and we are excited to make this year’s event even better than last year’s. Our annual toy drive provides toys for thousands of children each year, with a goal of giving away more than 15,000 toys to over 5,000 children.

We cannot meet this year’s goal without your help. To ensure the success of the event and provide Christmas gifts to children who are less fortunate, please consider donating. We need new, unwrapped toys for boys and girls, from infant to preteen. Dolls, books, games, skateboards, sports equipment, balls, action figures, Legos, cars, trucks, and Barbies are some of the favorites.

How Can You Help with This Year’s Toy Drive?
