Donate to The Toy Bank This Holiday Season & Directly Impact Kids in Need

October 15, 2019 | As the toy industry enters the key fourth quarter-selling season, it’s important to remember not all kids get to experience the excitement of receiving brand-new toys and games. That’s where The Toy Foundation (TTF)’s holiday toy drive can help.

The Foundation once again invites the toy and game community to contribute to its annual toy drive and help spark the joy of the holidays for underprivileged kids and their families.

"There are still one million underserved children that need our help this year," said Elizabeth Max, TTF’s senior foundation manager. "Every toy donated helps one more child in need, and this year we are seeking out partners willing to make sizable donations now through December 31 to help us reach this goal."

While there are many charities that offer opportunities to give back during the holidays, it is TTF’s year-round efforts that differentiates it from others. Through the Foundation’s signature Toy Bank program, each year TTF delivers toys to hundreds of children’s charities within its vast network of 1,000+ organizations serving children in need. These efforts ensure that all donated toys and games make it into the hands of impoverished families, foster children, military families, kids undergoing complicated medical procedures, and children with special needs -- in short, children who are deserving of the joy and comfort of play.

The Toy Bank accepts brand-new toys and games of all kinds, including action figures, arts and crafts, dolls, plush, skill-building puzzles, and outdoor toys.

Toy companies, retailers, and others in the industry who wish to join the holiday toy drive and learn additional ways they can give back, such as through the upcoming Play Your Part Boston event on November 19, are encouraged to fill out a product donation form and submit it to The Toy Bank. All donations are tax deductible. Contact Elizabeth Max to learn more.
