"Today I received a Christmas package for my daughter. It was wonderful!! It actually brought me to tears knowing how much people really care for one another. Thank you so much and when I am in a better financial situation I will for sure do the same for another family! Thank-you again so much! Very Merry Christmas, peace and blessings to you all!"

Donation Details
Donation Deadline:
- It is recommended to make your donation by November or early December to allow the gifting elves enough time to sort and package toys for Delivery Day on December 14, 2019.
Gifts Guidlines:
- We provide toys for children from infants to 12 years of age only. The age recommendations on toys are a great resource when deciding what to donate.
- “Play value” is very important and simply means that regardless of cost, a toy can be interactive and provide a child with hours of entertainment. Remember that a toy like a remote control car given to a 5-year-old will probably be enjoyed after the life of the batteries, however the same type of toy given to 12-year-old may sit in the corner after the batteries lose power. Get some gift ideas for Toy Donations.
- Toys and packaging are getting bigger every year. Please consider a smaller toy as volunteers need to place gifts for one family into one delivery bags.
- There are many gifts we can't accept. Review our 'Ungiftables' list to make sure you are donating a gift that fits within our guidelines.
Where to Drop-off Your Donation:
- We are grateful to have toy drop-off locations throughout Edmonton. Main Donation Locations remain open until December 23, 2019
