Once again, ABC6 is putting on the largest toy drive in Central Ohio and we can't wait to show you what we have in store this year. This year, we have decided to team up with the Columbus Police Department as an effort to exceed our toy goal this year.
As the holiday season approaches, there’s an undeniable magic in the air. The lights twinkle, the air fills with festive cheer, and the spirit of giving becomes a shining beacon of hope for many. This holiday season, we invite you to join us in making a difference in the lives of children in need by donating toys to our annual Toys for Tots Drive.
Imagine the smiles on the faces of kids as they unwrap brightly colored boxes filled with toys. For many children, these gifts are more than just gifts; they represent hope, joy, and the feeling of being cherished. Unfortunately, many families struggle during this season, and countless children face the prospect of an empty Holiday season without the simplest pleasures of toys and games.
Our Toy Drive aims to collect new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages. From stuffed animals and action figures to board games and art supplies, every donation counts and brings us one step closer to spreading joy in our community. Join us as we strive to ensure that every child can experience the joy of receiving a gift this holiday season.
Here’s how you can help:
1. **Gather**: Join your family, friends, or coworkers and start collecting toys. Remember, even a small contribution can make a big difference.
2. **Donate**: Bring your unopened gifts to one of our convenient drop-off locations or send a gift through the post. If you are on a desktop, scan the QR code to see our amazon wish list. If you are on your mobile phone, click here!
3. **Share**: Spread the word! Share our mission on social media and encourage others to join in this worthy cause. The more people who know, the more children we can reach! Our goal this year is 110 THOUSAND toys! thin k of how many smiles we can put on children's faces.
Together, we have the power to light up the holiday season for children who need it the most. Your generosity can help create priceless memories and ensure that every child's Christmas is filled with laughter and joy.
Let’s come together as a community and give the greatest gift of all—the gift of love and support. This Holiday season, spread the magic—donate toys and help us make dreams come true!
