Run a toy drive at your workplace.
Volunteer-run since 2012. We deliver the collection boxes, pick them up at the end of the season, and sort every toy in San Jose. Hosting is free.
Four steps. Most of them on us.
From sign-up to Toy Day, the season runs on a short, predictable arc.
- 1About 5 minutes
You sign up
Create your drive in the partner portal: your organization, where the collection boxes go, and a contact. Your drive is active right away, with no approval step.
- 2Free

Your team gives
Your people drop new, unwrapped toys into the boxes through December 18. Run it however fits your culture.
- 4We handle it
We pick up and deliver
A Silicon Valley Moving & Storage truck collects the boxes at the end of the season. We sort the toys at our warehouse and deliver them to children across the Bay Area.
A drive runs on two short lists.
We handle
- Collection boxes
- Printed materials & signage
- Pickup logistics
- Sorting at the warehouse
- Distribution across the Bay Area
You handle
- Pick a location at your workplace
- Tell your team
Some companies run silent collection bins. Others run department-vs-department competitions.
You are not starting from a blank page.
Two things arrive: the physical boxes, and a portal account with everything you would otherwise have to design yourself.
Delivered to your door
- Collection boxes, assembled and branded
- A printed poster for each box
- Box labels showing what to give and by when
Waiting in your portal
- The poster, flyer, and box label as print-ready sheets
- A social graphic sized for stories
- A kickoff email and reminder posts you can paste and send
- The logo, for your intranet or newsletter
Each printable carries your organization’s name and the date your box is collected, set once and applied everywhere.
Companies of every size host.
About 120 partners across the San Francisco Bay Area run a drive each season.
Partners include
- Costco
- Robinhood
- DHL
- Hallmark
- Thermo Fisher Scientific
Plus dozens more, from neighborhood firms to Fortune 500 enterprises.
Bring a toy. That’s the whole ask.
The donation is physical and the participation is visible. Someone carries an actual toy into the office and drops it in the box, and the box sits where everyone walks past it.
Nobody has to file an expense, pick a charity from a dropdown, or wait for a match to clear. The ask fits in one sentence, which is why it travels through a company without a campaign behind it.
We’ll send everything you need to start.
Schools, faith communities, scout troops, and community groups host too.
Same process, same materials, same outcome. A classroom can run it as easily as an office.
What hosts ask once they’ve decided.
How many collection boxes do we get?
As many as your locations need. You tell us where the boxes go when you create your drive, and we size the delivery to that.
Can we put boxes at more than one location?
Yes. Add each location when you create your drive and we deliver to all of them.
Do we have to sort or count the toys?
No. Leave everything in the boxes. Sorting happens at our warehouse in San Jose after pickup.
When should we sign up?
As early as you can. We deliver boxes ahead of the season, and signing up mid-season is still fine: collection runs through December 18.
What do we give our team to promote it?
Your partner portal has a poster, a flyer, a box label, a social graphic, a kickoff email, and reminder posts. Each printable carries your organization's name and your collection date.
Everything else is answered on the FAQ.
Not ready to sign up? Ask us.
Send a note and a real person answers it. Signing up commits you to nothing either way, but plenty of people want a conversation before they put a box in the lobby.
Or call (408) 244-0400. The office is open Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
Start your drive.
Sign up takes a few minutes, and you pick the week your boxes arrive.
