Helping bring the magic of Christmas to every child in Gates County, NC.

Big news for Gates County! 🎉 Our 2026 campaign with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is officially APPROVED!

We’re honored to continue serving local families this season—stay tuned for updates and ways to get involved as we jump back in! 🎁 🧸

We have recently been made aware of at least two house fires here in Gates County. Our hearts are with the families affected.

We know how devastating it is to lose everything in the blink of an eye—and how deeply this kind of loss impacts children. Please know that you are not alone.

If you or someone you love has been affected by a recent house fire and has children in the home, we encourage you to reach out to us directly. We are here and more than willing to help bring a little comfort, hope, and joy during an incredibly difficult time.

The impact of our community truly speaks for itself ❤️

During 2025, Albemarle Region Toys for Tots - Gates County distributed 1,428 toys and supported 173 children—something I am incredibly proud to be part of as your Gates County Coordinator. This would not be possible without our generous donors, dedicated volunteers, and community partners. My application to host a Toys for Tots campaign again this year has been submitted and is pending approval, and I am hopeful to continue serving local children together. Thank you for helping us make a difference, one child at a time.

🎁 Now that Christmas is over… what’s next for Toys for Tots? 🎁

We’re glad you asked.

The truth is — the mission doesn’t stop. Needs don’t disappear when the holidays end, and neither does Toys for Tots. Beyond the Christmas season, we continue to serve children in our community year-round, stepping up in times of need such as natural disasters, house fires, and other unexpected hardships, bringing comfort, hope, and support when families need it most.

But we can’t do this alone.

We need your continued support — through donations, volunteering, and by helping us spread the word about what we do beyond the holiday season. Every share, conversation, and show of support helps us reach families and children who may need us throughout the year.

Together, we can continue making a difference for children in Gates County 365 days a year.

Thank you for being such an important part of this mission and for standing with us all year long. ❤️

🎄 Merry Christmas from Albemarle Region Toys for Tots – Gates County 🎄

This morning, nearly 200 children in our county woke up to gifts under their trees — moments of joy, surprise, and hope that will be remembered long after today.

This Christmas magic happened because of an incredible community. To every donor who gave so generously, every volunteer who gave their time and heart, and every person who liked, shared, commented, or helped spread the word about our program — thank you. Your kindness created smiles, laughter, and memories that truly matter.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in this mission and in the children we serve. We are so grateful to be part of a community that shows up with love. ❤️🎁

Merry Christmas 🎄✨
