/ Ronnie SharpeIt's that time of year again to unleash your inner Santa and spread some cheer! Ronnie’s Awesome List has got you covered with a list of Bay Area spots where you can donate toys to children who could use a helping hand.
Here are some recommended local toy drives to donate to:
We look forward to starting this years Campaign on Oct 1st. We are excited once again to start helping children all throughout Contra Costa County. We hope to spread more Chirstmas joy and hope this year with all of your help and contributions to our Campaign.
Every year, with the help of hundreds of continuing and first-time donors, we provide a warm holiday for Marin families in need. In the fall, families who received emergency assistance from our agency are invited to prepare a wish list of gift ideas that would make their holiday season brighter.
The Toys for Tots Campaign has a deep and profound impact or our nation's children. Join us in our efforts to ensure that every child in need, in your community, receives a new and unwrapped toy this holiday season!
Our mission is to deliver, through a new toy this hliday season, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.
Make the holidays brighter this year by donating new, unwrapped toys, books, or gifts cards now through Dec. 9th. All donations will be given out to local youth aged 4-18 at the Annual BGCSV Winter Wonderland at Maxwell Farms Regional Park.
We’re thrilled to announce the return of the RVFD Annual Christmas Toy Drive!
The program was interested in helping children who were missed by other programs, and who were not going to have Christmas due to circumstances beyond their control.
We believe that everyone should experience the joy of the holidays through the receipt of a gift that they have wished for. To fulfill the wish of a child, adult, or senior in need may not seem like much, but it's everything for someone who may not otherwise receive a gift.
The holiday season is a time of joy, happiness, family, and friendship. This year, the Redwood City Police and Fire Department, PAL Center, and Parks Recreation and Community Services, have teamed up yet again with The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Activities League, San Carlos Fire Department, Woodside Fire Department, California Highway Patrol, Redwood City 330 Squad Club, and the CARON Project in order to continue our annual Redwood City / San Mateo County Christmas Toy and Book Drive.
Once again, GLIDE will be collecting toys, packing them into bags and distributing them to children (up to 11 years) who are enrolled in GLIDE programs.
The San Francisco Firefighters Toy Program is proudly owned by The San Francisco Firefighters Local 798.
The time has come to get the Toys For Tots Campaign started, so let’s make this year even better!
while we strive to support as many organizations as possible, our ability to provide toys depends on the number of donations we receive each year. Submitting an application does not guarantee receipt of toys, and we can only accept one request per nonprofit EIN. Thank you for your understanding and for partnering with us to make the holidays brighter for the children in our community.
The Alameda County Sheriff's Office Community Oriented Response and Engagement Unit is hosting their Annual Holiday Toy Drive!
We always need help collecting items that we give out all year round. Samaritan House does not charge our clients for any items they receive. So, by running a collection drive, you are giving directly to your neighbors in need.
As the holiday season approaches, many families in Marin are struggling to make ends meet. With the help of generous community members, North Marin Community Service’s (NMCS) Holiday Share and Toy Drive will make the holidays a little brighter for more than 300 children and their families.
