Brevard County - South

Announcements
We have opened family registration for the 2025 season.  Registration deadline is November 30th (we will consider late applications submitted by December 3rd.)  Please note that we provide the best we can for children through age 14.  We review each application and may send you an email with questions as we search through our database.  Please keep your eyes open for incoming emails from our chapter.   
No Phone Calls Please. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!


ATTENTION FAMILIES: This year, due to high demand, we will be limiting the number of toy requests and will be requiring documentation to be approved for toys. The number of approved requests will be capped at 1,800 requests. The prerequisites for a toy request approval are as follows:
 
* Documentation of legal guardianship for EACH child is required.
* Birth Certificates for EACH child are required.
*Proof of Government assistance via app (Propel for EBT) or via physical card/paper documentation required.
(Note:  Can not have 5 consecutive years of requests from Toys for Tots.)
 
We appreciate your understanding and support!
 
Thank you!


Family request forms are now OPEN! We will verify and approve requests. Please be patient as we move through the process to change your request status. The following is the process that takes place after you submit your order request and when changes to your status are made:
 
Our primary mode of communication is through email. If you have any questions other than application status, please send an email to barefoot.bay.fl@toysfortots.org.  Please note, we will not be making phone call reminders this year of your scheduled date for pick up.  You will need to stay alert for your email responses from us. 

If you want to know the status of your application, please click the link below:

Once a request is APPROVED, an email will be sent to the email address on your application. If you have been approved but have not received a pick-up date notification then you have not yet been assigned a pick-up date. You will receive a pick-up date once your order has been filled.

TOY COLLECTION

DROP-SITE AND EVENT REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR 2025
Please email and we will try to accommodate additional Events and Toy Collections. 

If you would like to provide boxes at your location for community donations, please register as a Drop-Off Location. You can select "Yes" to be listed on our public website so community members know they can drop off their donations to your local business. Private collections must register online and select "No" when asked to be listed on our public website. We ask that you collect your boxes from us if possible to reduce volunteer driving.

Toy Drop-Off Registration is OPEN

If you are planning an Event (Fundraiser or Toy Drive) please tell us about it so we can work together and get it on the schedule. Our Foundation requires that you register your event. Early event registration will guarantee dressed blues Marine support and eliminate scheduling conflicts.
** Note: Due to a Government shutdown, we can not guarantee a uniformed Marine at events, but will do our best to have one provided. **

Event Registration is OPEN
  DONATIONS

The Toys for Tots Foundation is the only non-profit organization IN THE NATION, that has a 3% overhead (10%-15% is the average for other non-profit organizations). This means that 97 cents of every dollar goes towards the purchasing of toys and 3 cents to supplies, utilities, storage, etc. 

Here are ways to help Toys for Tots make it easier for families during the holidays:

1. 1. Donate toys. Here's a list of local drop-off locations
2. 2. Monetary donations. 97% of funds raised by Toys 3 Tots are directly used for the purchase of toys for children in your local area. Click here to access our secure donations page. If you would like to pay by check or cash, please call the Coordinator for a donation pick-up to be scheduled. Every donation identified from individuals and organizations will receive a Tax Deduction Form at the end of January.
3. 3. Volunteering. This year our requests from families in need have increased about 150%. We will need help to fill and distribute these requests before Christmas. We need volunteers to count and sort donations, fulfill orders, distribute orders on pick-up days, and travel to drop-off locations to pick up toys. 
4. Please register to be scheduled to volunteer here
5. 4. Buy swag. Please click and check out T4TGear.com. Be sure to select our program at checkout - they send donations from the sale to our local program! So "Purchase With A Purpose" and help the kids in our area!

What do your donations support?
It is required, by the Marine Corps and the Toys for Toys Foundation, that all local coordinators support their own campaigns through local donations. 

 Monetary Donations are welcome year-round.
Make sure to assign your donation to: South Brevard County VOLUNTEERS

Every Toys for Tots campaign relies on volunteers to successfully collect and distribute toys to the community’s children. Volunteers can assist by collecting, counting and sorting, and traveling to drop-off locations. 

Want to volunteer in this year’s campaign?

Register here and we will get in touch with you! NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS


Toys for Tots donates to Local Non-Profits that sponsor or support community families and/or children with gifts by allowing the organization to register on behalf of multiple families/children. 
Your organization MUST have a non-profit tax ID number to complete the form.
If you fail to provide this certificate, your request will be rejected.
 
Non-Profit Registration is OPEN.
  MISSION

Our mission is to collect and distribute toys to less fortunate children for the holiday season and do it by uniting the community in our efforts.
