Joey’s Toy Drive

Gathered office by office, then driven home.

The drive runs on about 120 Bay Area partners.

Companies, schools, faith communities, and community groups across nine counties. Each hosts a collection drive through November and December, then sends every toy to San Jose.

Names you’d know, named here.

A few corporate partners have agreed to be named publicly — Fortune 500s among them. They stand for a much larger network of workplaces that host a drive quietly, year after year.

The rest go unnamed — schools, faith communities, and community groups across the San Francisco Bay Area, plus companies that host without a logo on a page. We’d rather earn the right to add a name than print one without permission.

The rooms it actually happens in.

Not a warehouse — a lobby, a reception desk, a spot by the tree. Every partner drive starts as a box somewhere people already pass each day.

A Bay Area network, reaching down the coast.

Every dot is a 2025 partner drive. Most cluster across the nine Bay Area counties we serve. Two volunteers carried the drive farther — to Monterey and Santa Barbara — and the toys came back to San Jose, to go to Bay Area kids.

Two people. Two new regions.

In Monterey, Chris Ferris ran a drive that sent roughly 400 toys back to San Jose. A UCSB student carried it to Santa Barbara and gathered close to 1,000. Both batches came home and went to Bay Area kids.

Four kinds of partners. One drive.

Different rooms, the same season. Every one of them ends with a box of new toys headed to San Jose.

Corporate workplaces

Fortune 500s, mid-market tech, professional services firms, and neighborhood businesses. Each hosts a collection box at the office through November and December.

LinkedIn · Meta · Robinhood · UBS · Costco · and more

Schools

Public schools, private schools, and university student groups across the nine counties. Some run the drive inside their own community; others collect for families nearby.

K–12 districts · independent schools · campus groups

Faith communities

Local faith communities fold a drive into their seasonal giving, often handing toys to neighborhood families directly.

Congregations · faith-based community centers

Community organizations

Scout troops, neighborhood associations, civic clubs, and nonprofit partners. They both collect toys and help get them to children through the network.

Silicon Valley Moving & Storage moves it all.

SVM donates the operational backbone of Joey’s Toy Drive: trucks, warehouse space, freight handling — what it takes to move tens of thousands of toys across nine counties.

A volunteer team couldn’t deliver at this scale without it. The drive’s name is Joey’s; the logistics are SVM’s.
