Joey’s Toy Drive

Every Child Deserves a Gift on Christmas Morning.

Volunteers across the Bay Area collect the toys, sort them in San Jose, and distribute them through the organizations that serve local families.

Joey’s Toy Drive collects new, unwrapped toy donations and distributes them as Christmas gifts to children in need throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

How the Drive Works.

  1. Four Joey's Toy Drive collection boxes standing around a decorated Christmas tree in an office lobby

    Businesses and Schools Collect.

    A workplace, school, or parish keeps a collection box in its lobby.

  2. A Joey's Toy Drive collection box beside bins of stuffed animals and stacked toys

    Volunteers Sort.

    The full boxes come back to San Jose, where volunteers sort the toys by age.

  3. Pallets of donated toys stacked under a CityTeam sign, with two people standing in front of them

    Local Organizations Give.

    Nonprofits and agencies request the toys they need, pick them up in San Jose, and give them to the families they serve.

Run by Volunteers Since 2012.

The drive has no paid staff. Our partners range from scout troops to Fortune 500 companies, and each one runs its own collection drive.
