Virtual Toy Drive
You can bring joy to children today!
Launch your fundraiser today!
A team member will reach out to you soon to arrange an informational call.
Join Giving Children Hope’s Virtual Toy Drive — a simple way to support kids across Southern California. Children earn toys by reading, building good habits, serving others, and strengthening relationships. Your support turns their growth into celebration.
Giving Children Hope is partnering with community members, companies, and friend groups to raise $400,000 to distribute 80,000 toys to local children across Southern California. A child earns each toy through programs that promote reading, wellness, and acts of kindness.
Every $5 raised = 1 toy earned by a child.
Whether you’re fundraising on your own or as part of a team, your impact will help shape the next generation of readers, leaders, and changemakers.
The main campaign runs from July 12th to August 30th.
Make this summer memorable for local kids!
