A Christmas Gift for Every Child
Since 2012, people across the Bay Area have come together through Joey's Toy Drive to give local children a gift to open on Christmas morning, whether they bring a new toy, host a collection box at work, or spend an afternoon volunteering.
Hosted by Local Businesses, Schools, and Community Organizations

Give Your Community a Place to Give
Your lobby, classroom, or storefront can become the start of someone's Christmas gift. Invite the people around you to bring a new, unwrapped toy, and we'll help get those gifts to local families.
- Donation boxes delivered to your location
- Posters, flyers, and messages ready to share
- Scheduled pickup when your toy drive is finished
From Your Community to a Child's Christmas
Volunteers bring donations back to our San Jose hub, sort them by age, and prepare toy orders for local nonprofits, schools, and family-service agencies. Those organizations give the gifts to the children and families they serve.
Organizations including CityTeam, Sacred Heart Community Service, and the Bill Wilson Center help these gifts reach families across the Bay Area.

Our Story
It Started With a Box
In December 2012, Joey Childs began collecting toys from family and neighbors in San Jose. He printed flyers, knocked on doors after school, and asked people to help a local child have something to open at Christmas.
The people who gave brought the idea to their workplaces and schools. Local businesses made room for donation boxes. That same community effort still carries Joey's Toy Drive today.
