This holiday season, GTN is proud to celebrate the eighth year of our cherished tradition partnering with Toys for Tots to bring joy to children in need.
Why your support matters
As families across the country navigate rising costs and daily challenges, these burdens are often felt more during the holiday season. Your generosity can turn uncertainty into delight and bring joy and celebration back into the hearts of families in our communities.
The impact is real
Since its founding in 1947, Toys for Tots has grown into a national symbol of generosity and compassion and:
- Distributed 708 million+ toys nationwide
- Reached 314 million+ children through acts of giving
- Shared countless moments of joy that ripple far beyond the holiday season
While the dedicated Toys for Tots Coordinators manage and organize the campaign, its success ultimately relies on the support of our local community and the generosity of those who donate toys.
