Help us collect toys for 1,500 children in our We’ve Got Your Back program this season.
Donations of gift-wrapping paper, tape, and ribbon are also welcome to support this effort.
How to Host a Toy Drive
Toy Drive Tips
Set your dates: We recommend ending your drive by December 14.
Create a collection area: Make it easy for your community to know where and when to donate.
Plan your delivery: When possible, please drop off donations at Giving Children Hope. Our team is small and we have one truck, so every drop-off makes a big difference!
8332 Commonwealth Ave., Buena Park, CA
Donate by December 14: Gifts received after this date may be saved for the following holiday season. We wrap and distribute gifts to students at 50+ schools before winter break, and each school has a different holiday schedule.
Spread the word: Follow Giving Children Hope on social media and tag us in your toy drive posts so we can celebrate and share your impact with our community! @GivingChildrenHope
Holiday closure: Our offices will be closed Monday, December 21, for the holiday.
