Are there are any other Tucson toy drives I missed?

By the way if you like helping Tucson kids, don’t miss my Arizona Back To School Drives list.

If you aren’t local, then I suggest contacting similar organizations in your area, checking out their Facebook pages for upcoming events or evening googling ‘your city and toy drive’ to find a list of ideas.

    Hello–I’m trying to find someone that will take toy donations all year round. I don’t know how to contact anyone with this organization than you. Let me tell you what I like to do. I design, & make “Couture Doll Clothing” for Barbies and other fashion dolls. I have wanted to do something like this for awhile…..I would like to make a set of a new Barbie doll and a 3 outfit wardrobe to with her. I know many places accept these kinds of toys at Christmas especially. But I would like to know if this would be something you’d like at all, and year round? Thank you–Juliet Whorton

      I don’t host my own toy drives, just share details of ones I find locally. I’d recommend contacting toys for tots or maybe the boys and girls club.

      Hi Tim,

      I don’t actually run holiday toy drives on this site, I just list out the details to make it easier for people to know where to donate. Perhaps someone reading this comment will connect with you and take you up on your really awesome offer though. In addition, if you do end up hosting one let me know so I can list it during the holiday season.

      Thanks
