Registration for the 2025 Toy Drive closed on November 22nd. Donations are still be accepted all month!

Bless disadvantaged children in Auburn by delivering newly purchased unwrapped toys to our Public Safety Building (141 N. Ross St.) or any Auburn Fire station. Donations will be accepted during the entire month of November.

The program is designed to assist families in the Auburn community who need a "hand up" by providing Christmas gifts to children ages 3 through 12.

Please direct all inquiries to toydrive@auburnal.gov

Receiving and Registration

Registration to receive a gift will be on-going from
Nov. 4 - Nov. 22.

To receive assistance through the program, a parent
or legal guardian must fill out the registration form
and attach copies of all of the following:

  • parent or legal guardian's picture ID
  • child’s birth certificate
  • proof of residency (ex: lease or current utility bill for the City of Auburn)

Donating

Anyone wishing to donate to the Auburn Toy Drive can drop off a newly purchased, unwrapped gift for children ages 3-12 during the month of November to our Public Safety Building or any Auburn Fire station.

The Auburn Police Department will also be holding a donation drop-off event at Walmart on Nov. 15.

Walmart Toy Drive Donation Event
Walmart Supercenter
1717 S. College St.
Nov. 15, 9 a.m. -3 p.m.

During this holiday season, please remember those who may be less fortunate. All donations are extremely important. As always, be mindful that no monetary donations may be accepted; however, any purchased gift is extremely appreciated.

Volunteering

We will need volunteers for this weekend event! Volunteers will sort the gifts into age-appropriate categories on Dec. 5 and pick-up will be available Dec. 6 at Lake Wilmore Recreation Center.

VOLUNTEER SIGN UP FORM

In the spirit of a hand-up rather than a hand-out program, effective Nov. 1, 2023, families may only register for the Auburn Toy Drive two years in a row. Families who receive toys in 2024 will be eligible to register in 2025 if they meet the registration requirements.
