- 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 ages 0-12 for children staying at Volunteers of America’s Emergency Family Shelters.
OR join our digital drive and shop online through our online wish list and have the items delivered directly to VOA.
We encourage donations of items that inspire creativity, learning, and fun, while avoiding those with aggressive themes.
