Places to donate toys for christmas.

I always do a big toy clean out before christmas which often leaves me with boxes and bags full of gently used items that can go to a good cause. As an extra incentive donate toys to a qualifying charity or nonprofit to deduct the items on your taxes. Most of them are more than happy to accept toys as donations especially during christmas. Either way the toys will be helping people in your community.

The best place to donate toys at christmas is a local shelter or a children s center. For example if you drop off a letter to santa at any macy s location the store will donate 1 per letter to make a wish. Their operation christmas child provides gifts to children in need each year. Getting those toys cleaned assembled and working is the first step after which you need to find a place that accepts toy donations.

Volunteers are asked to pay 25 and pack a virtual shoebox of gifts for a child including essentials like a toothbrush a wow gift and small gifts like a ball or a car and a note and a photo if you so choose or you can just donate 25 to have the organization build a shoebox for you. Charitable organizations and resale charities like the salvation army and goodwill are also great places to consider as well as operation homefront which helps arrange toy donations for military. But it might be a good idea to give them a call ahead of time.
