HELP US, HELP OUR COMMUNITY
From, Sonia, Mel, Gandy, Zuzka, Tim, Jordan, and countless others
We are members of the Somerville community who have been organizing toy drives since 2020. What started that year with just three neighbors wanting to bring some joy to families in need during the holidays has grown into an effort involving dozens of people. Today, we work together to collect gift donations for children from all walks of life in our community.
Our annual Holiday Toy Drive has become a cherished community tradition! Each year, we have the joy of seeing the smiles, excitement, and gratitude of children receiving gifts during the holidays. Last year, we collected toys for more than 250 families—a truly remarkable achievement!
Your support is crucial in making this year’s drive a success. It’s a simple act of kindness that can make a lasting difference, and now more than ever, we need your support to bring a little cheer to those in our community.
Let’s come together as a community to ensure every child experiences the magic of the holiday season.
Here’s how you can help:
You can purchase a toy from our wish list at local Somerville business, Learning Express at https://tinyurl.com/Donate-toy.
To purchase gifts off the registry:
Add desired toys to cart and check out as a guest.
Select “Assembly Row” is listed as the location and select “Click here to confirm pickup location.” Note: Learning Express will ensure all gifts purchased from the registry are included in the Somerville Community Holiday Gift Drive - no need to pick up any gifts in store!
Select “Proceed to Checkout” and complete your order.
If you have a new or gently used toy to contribute, please email us at somervilletoydrive@gmail.com to arrange a drop-off time and location.
Your donation will help us purchase toys for children in need across our community. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in bringing joy to a child's holiday season. You can donate securely via https://givebutter.com/SomervilleGiftDrive
Help us spread the word about our Holiday Toy Drive through your social media channels, email newsletters, or in-store signage. Increased awareness will enable us to reach a wider audience and gather more donations.
