TOY COLLECTION

DROP-SITE AND EVENT REGISTRATION HAS NOW OPEN FOR 2024
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 to be listed on our website, so community members know where to drop off their donations at 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 volunteering 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 & eliminate scheduling conflicts. 

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 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. We have implemented COVID procedures to ensure the safety of our volunteers and community. Please register to be scheduled to volunteer.here
4. 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
