URGENT IMMEDIATE NEED FOR STORAGE FOR TOYS FOR TOTS TOYS AND SUPPLIES! Please SHARE!

Over the weekend we found out that the storage area we are currently using is in escrow as part of a warehouse sale in Yuba City! The owner of the facility needs us to move quickly!

Yuba-Sutter Toys for Tots needs a secure and dry area measuring about 200 square feet for storage between this week and around November 15th in the Yuba City, Marysville, Linda and Olivehurst area.

Looking forward to our need for a warehouse, November 1-December 30, we will need around 2000 square feet in a secure facility. If we can get a warehouse facility and warehouse sorting facility together all the better...but the 200 sq. ft. storage is paramount this week!

We served more than 3200 children this past December and with your help, we will do that much or more again this coming Christmas.

If you have direct knowledge of a facility immediately available, please email [email protected] ASAP.

Yuba-Sutter Toys For Tots Served 3,324 Children In Yuba-Sutter In December, 2025!

It was an incredible time for Yuba-Sutter Toys for Tots as we celebrated a record year!

Here are the numbers:
-3,324 Low income children served
-6,157 gifts went to local children, along with
-2,046 Stocking Stuffers
-731 books

We are so blessed to have such a giving community! We received 3,324 gifts from our more than 75 local drop-off participating businesses, non-profits and Beale AFB, and through our special event with the Yuba City Fire Department's one-day appearance at Kohl’s in Yuba City and Results Radio series of live radio broadcasts!

Top toy drives locally were conducted by Beale AFB, Yuba City Firefighters & Yuba City Fire Dept., Century 21 Select, Grange COOP, Yuba Sutter Farm Bureau, CORE Financial Group, Oak View Insurance and many more!Thanks to all businesses, organizations and schools who collected toys!

Local cash donations of $5,300 was used to purchase more gifts (with zero dollars taken off the top for any other expenses)!

In addition to the nearly 750 low income families served through our one-day "family distribution event" with Salvation Army, and 500 families served in a one day home distribution by SoYouCan, we also provided gifts to 12 other local organizations serving low income families.

One very special note is that we have NO overhead this year! We received free storage space from Results Radio, an incredible partnership with Salvation Army, free distribution and sorting facilities through ample space provided by Harry Swinney!

Plus, to make this year even more amazing, we received $23,000 in gifts FREE OF CHARGE to Yuba-Sutter Toys for Tots from national Toys for Tots Foundation!

Donations to Toys for Tots is a VERY pure form of giving, with zero overhead! All money goes to toys!

Thanks to our team of ten very dedicated volunteers and for volunteer assistance from SoYouCan, SAYLOVE and many more!

Thanks to all our donors and volunteers who made this record-breaking year possible!

Thanks to Grange Co-op, one of our wonderful partners in bringing Christmas to more than 3000 local children.

🎁It looks like Christmas morning in Yuba City!🎁

The Yuba City Grange Co-op is a Toys for Tots drop off location! Toys for Tots is the major source providing toys for Salvation Army, CHIPS 4 Kids and a major provider of toys and food for over 500 families in Yuba and Sutter Counties. In total the local Toys for Tots provided toys for over 3,000 children last year! Together, we believe we can top that number this year!
