Toy Drive Fall 2025

Toy Drop-off @Beach Shops Bookstore |  November 1-December 1, 2025
Campus staff are invited to donate new toys and gift cards to local foster children that will be distributed during our Children's Holiday Party. Please drop off your donations at the Beach Shops as early as possible in November so we can wrap them in preparation for the party. 

• New, unwrapped toys only; please no plush toys as they present a fire hazard.
• Toys for infants and teens are always in demand.
• For teens: cameras, watches, sunglasses, earphones, skateboards, scooters, basketballs, soccer balls, footballs, hair tools (i.e., blow dryers, flat irons, etc.), jewelry, make-up brushes, crossbody bags/handbags. Target gift cards ($25) can be dropped off at the Bookstore to the attention of Kristin Bonetati.

Decorate a Toy Donation box to display in your department to encourage participation!
