Our 2026 Toys for Tots Campaign will begin on October 1st, 2026.
You will not be able to submit until then.

Due to the large population of our Northern New Jersey Region, we partner and distribute toys to non-profit organizations. Non-Profit Organizations, we ask that throughout the season, please be patient when submitting your toy request. We process and approve the request as we get toys donated. Emailing or calling the coordinator does not speed up the process. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

*** The last day for any toy request submission is October 31st, 2026.***

*** Individual Family Toy Request can be submitted to your nearest "Approved Non-Profit Organization." please use this link:

As we get closer to Christmas, our list will continue to grow.
