- Set out large boxes or bins at your school, work, church, clubhouse, etc…

Holiday Toy Drive
Your school, business, group or organization can help spread joy this holiday season by hosting a donation drive and collecting new toys suitable for children staying at Volunteers of America’s Emergency Family Shelters.
While our digital online toy drive has ended, we are still accepting in-person toy donations through December 12.
We encourage donations of items that inspire creativity, learning, and fun, while avoiding those with aggressive themes.
