2015 Child Advocates Toy Drive!

For many of the kids we serve, the holidays can be difficult. Some children may be separated from their parents, others from their siblings. Some are just starting out in a new home. At least 90% of our clients come from families living below the federal poverty level. And like every child, they are making wishes for a joyful holiday season. We invite you to make the holidays bright for these boys and girls.
Join our Holiday Toy Drive! We offer many ways to participate. Please read each volunteer opportunity carefully, as some changes have been made this year.
Buy gifts for our children (Birth to 21). We especially need gifts for teenagers. Gift cards are an easy way to give to this age group and our teens love them!
Coordinate a Child Advocates Toy Drive at work, among friends and family, at your child's school, or at your church, synagogue or mosque. We will send you the names and ages of children - you tell us how many - on adhesive labels that can be distributed to your donors. We suggest a minimum of 10 children.
Amazon Wish List. Purchase gifts or clothing from our client-specific requested holiday list. Click HERE to shop.
Volunteer at our Toy Drive headquarters (location to be determined) to help sort and bag toys during the weeks preceding Delivery Day.
Help deliver toys on December 19th - Delivery Day. To protect the safety and well-being of the children we serve, we are requiring all Toy Drive Drivers to complete a background check. If you have completed a background check in the past year, please send a copy of your clearance to Cate Galbally or fax to 267-546-9201, attention Toy Drive Clearance. Child Advocates volunteer attorneys and 2014 Toy Drive Drivers do not have to undergo another background check but will need to contact Cate Galbally to register. To complete a background check please click HERE.
Sponsor a needy family or teen on a larger scale. Many of our clients' families are impoverished, with large sibling groups or special needs children, and they may require more than toys.
