As we close out our 2025 Toys for Tots season, our hearts are full of gratitude. ❤️
Thank you to our dedicated volunteers including our team of coordinators, our logistics team, and the hundreds of warehouse volunteers who gave their time, energy, and hearts to make this season successful.
Thank you to the more than 1,000 local businesses that served as drop box locations, helping us collect toys throughout our 14 counties of operation.
We are deeply grateful for our sponsors and supporters who donated, hosted events and toy drives, and more! Their generosity allowed us to serve even more children this year.
Thank you to the many local schools, first responders, and charities that partner with us to ensure toys reach the children who need them most.
This mission would not be possible without every volunteer, business, sponsor, partner, and supporter who joins us in believing that every child deserves to feel hope and joy during tough times.
It truly takes a community, and we are honored to serve alongside ours. 🎁🇺🇸
Thank you for an unforgettable 2025 season!

We are so grateful to Big Tony’s Kitchen on the River- Stillwater for supplying warehouse volunteers lunch throughout the last 2 months, and donating a wonderful spread of delicious food for our team today as we will be closing up the warehouse tomorrow, ending our 2025 season!
We would be nothing without the dedication, time, and passion of our incredible volunteers.
From our logistics team distibuting and collecting boxes from over 1,000 donation sites, to our warehouse staff leading volunteers in sorting and bagging toys, to our nonprofit and distribution team for making sure the toys are getting to local children and charities, and more!
Their selfless service makes our mission possible.
They show up, work hard, and give generously, expecting nothing in return except the joy of helping local children in need. Because of them, and many others not pictured here, countless smiles are created every holiday season.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being the backbone of Toys for Tots. 🎁
