Please read this Fact Sheet carefully…it contains all the information you need on the Who, What, When, Where and How, including how to participate by sponsoring a toy collection drive at your workplace, how to request a bin for toy collection, and where to bring your bin when it is full. When you’re ready to sign up for this great program, please download and fill out this Sign Up Form, then email it to one of the persons indicated on the form.

TO RECOMMEND A FAMILY OR TO REQUEST TOYS: complete a request form on the national website www.toysfortots.org – click on REQUEST A TOY, type in your state (NJ) and location (Gloucester County). Families will be required to show proof of residency and birth certificates for all children that toys are requested for, and will be contacted when to pick up the toys. NO PHONE REQUESTS, PLEASE.

Toy Requests will only be accepted until October 20th, 2026. So please act soon.
