Joey’s Toy Drive

Host a toy drive at your workplace.

About 120 businesses, schools, and community groups across the San Francisco Bay Area run a collection each season. We deliver the boxes, supply the materials, and collect every toy. There is no cost to host.

How the season runs.

Five steps, and only two of them are yours. Our team handles everything that needs a truck.

  1. You sign up, and pick the week your boxes arrive.

    Signup runs through the partner portal and takes a few minutes. You tell us where the boxes go.

  2. We deliver the collection boxes and the printed materials.

    Assembled, branded, and ready to stand in a lobby, a break room, or a front office.

  3. Your team brings in new, unwrapped toys through December 18.

    Donations go straight into the box. Nobody sorts, logs, or counts anything.

  4. We collect the boxes at the end of the season, and bring more if yours fill up.

    You propose a pickup window in the portal, and our team confirms it.

  5. We distribute the toys through the organizations that serve Bay Area families.

    The organizations that know their families tell us what they need, and we fulfill their requests from the warehouse.

What you receive.

We design and print all of it. You put it where people will see it.

Delivered to your door

  • Collection boxes, assembled and branded
  • A printed poster for each box
  • Box labels showing what to give and by when

In your partner 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

You set your organization’s name and your collection date once, and every printable carries them.

Offices, schools, and community groups host.

Neighborhood firms and Fortune 500 enterprises get the same boxes and the same materials. A classroom or a firehouse runs the drive as easily as an office.

Partners include

  • Costco
  • Robinhood
  • DHL
  • Hallmark
  • Thermo Fisher Scientific

Where the toys go.

We already work with the organizations that receive the toys. Your drive has a destination before it begins.

Every toy collected in the Bay Area stays in the Bay Area.

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. Our team sorts them at the warehouse in San Jose after pickup.

When should we sign up?

As early as you can, though mid-season works too. We deliver boxes ahead of the season and 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 carrying your organization's name and your collection date.

Everything else is answered on the FAQ.

Ask a question first.

Our team answers every note. Signing up commits you to nothing.

Or call (408) 244-0400. The office is open Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

Start your drive.

Create your drive in the partner portal, and we take it from there.
