Welcome to the 2025 NYC Toys for Tots Campaign!
Our 2025 campaign has officially started and we are deeply excited to work with all our partners, sponsors, donors, volunteers and drop sites! Your toy drives, distribution events, and unwavering support helps bring joy to thousands of children across all five boroughs of New York City.
Drop Site Information
If your organization served as a drop site during the 2024 campaign and still has toys to return, we are now accepting them.
You are welcome to drop off toys directly at our location:
1 Aviation Rd Brooklyn, NY 11234 Hours: Monday–Friday, 08:00 AM – 4:00 PM
If you are unable to drop off, you may also schedule a pickup by contacting us at:
888-848-2596 or brooklyn.ny@toysfortots.org
We’re working to improve our collection process this season and appreciate your continued support in helping us serve children across New York City.
Who We Are & How We Operate
The NYC Toys for Tots Campaign is proudly coordinated by the Marines of 6th Communication Battalion. If you're not working directly with an Active Duty Marine, chances are you're not engaging with the official campaign. If you're unsure, reach out—we're happy to help.
The Staten Island Toys for Tots Campaign continues to be supported by the Marines of 6th Communication Battalion. Staten Island residents will still receive the support they need through the official NYC campaign.
Please note: We are not affiliated with, nor do we employ, any vehicles displaying Toys for Tots logo stickers. These vehicles are not part of our campaign and do not represent the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
Need help or have questions? 888-848-2596 or brooklyn.ny@toysfortots.org
Application Status Updates
The Applications for the 2025 campaign will open on October 3, 2025.
Please note: Organizations must reapply every year to be considered for toy support. Previous approval does not guarantee participation in future campaigns.
We appreciate your continued partnership and look forward to working with you again this season.
