Frequently asked questions

What kinds of toys should I donate?

New, unwrapped toys for all ages: dolls, cars, puzzles, games, sports equipment and building sets. Gifts for teenagers, such as gift cards and sports items, are always needed.

Do toys need to be wrapped?

No. Please leave toys unwrapped so volunteers can match each gift to the right child's age and interests.

Can I donate used toys or clothing?

We can only accept new items. Gently used toys and clothing are better suited to local thrift and shelter programs.

What is the deadline?

For the 2025 toy drive, toys were collected through December 16. The 2026 deadline will be posted here when the drive opens.
