Northern Nevada Dream Center’s 11th Annual Christmas Food, Toy Drive happening now

Welcome to Our Dream Christmas Toy Drive!

We’re thrilled to kick off our 11th Annual Dream Christmas Toy Drive, uniting with local businesses and community members to bring joy to children throughout Northern Nevada! Last year, thanks to your generosity, over 200 children found more than 1,200 toys under the tree on Christmas morning.

This program brings hope and holiday cheer to kids from ages 1 to 18. To make this possible, we’re asking for donations of new, unopened, and unwrapped toys. And to help families prepare for the big day, we’ll also provide wrapping supplies for parents who need them.

How to Get Involved

• Donate Toys: Drop off your toy donations at any of the locations listed below between November 10th and December 8th.
• Sponsor A Child: Prefer to donate? Gift toys for children here, and our team will handle the shopping for you!
• Become a Donation Location: If you’re a business interested in being a toy drop-off location, contact us to join in this meaningful tradition.
