Give Joy This Season: Join the 37th Annual Celebration of Giving Toy Drive

Each year, thousands of children across San Bernardino County experience the magic of the holidays thanks to generous donors and volunteers who believe every child deserves to feel joy. Children’s Fund is proud to host the 37th Annual Celebration of Giving Toy Drive, a cherished community tradition that brings hope, happiness, and the spirit of giving to children and families in need.

This year, we’re aiming to collect over 40,000 new, unwrapped toys to brighten the holidays for local children who might otherwise go without. Whether you host a drive, donate toys, or make a gift, your participation can make a meaningful difference.

How to Get Involved

1. Host a Toy Drive

Invite your workplace, school, church, or organization to join the movement by hosting your own toy drive. It’s a wonderful way to unite your community and spread kindness. Children’s Fund provides a drive starter checklist and downloadable flyers to make hosting simple and fun.

Encourage participation by setting collection goals, offering incentives, or creating themed events. Every toy collected helps bring a smile to a child’s face this holiday season.

Start your toy drive today at childrensfund.org/cog.

2. Donate Toys

If you’d like to give directly, you can donate new, unwrapped toys at one of our community drop-off locations throughout San Bernardino County, including San Bernardino County Fire Stations through their Spark of Love Toy Drive. We’re especially in need of gifts for teens, such as sports equipment, headphones, self-care items, and gift cards.

No matter the size or type of toy, every contribution adds to the collective joy we’re spreading this season.

Visit childrensfund.org/cog to find drop-off sites and gift ideas.

3. Make a Donation

Not sure what to buy? A monetary donation allows Children’s Fund to purchase toys where they’re needed most and fill any gaps in age groups or inventory. Your donation helps ensure every child receives a gift that fits their age and interests.
