Good to know
What kind of toys should I give?
New and unwrapped, please, so volunteers can match each gift to a child. Toys for teens are always the most needed.
Where do the toys go?
To kids and families right here in Shasta, handed out before Christmas by our volunteers and partner groups.
When is the last day to drop off?
Barrels stay out until mid-December.
A barrel is full. What do I do?
Hosts scan the QR code on the barrel and tap "Barrel is full". Our team comes to pick it up, usually within a day.
Can my group volunteer?
Yes! We need drivers to collect barrels and helpers to sort toys. Email us and tell us when you are free.
My family needs toys. Can we sign up?
Yes. Use the family sign-up. It is free and private, and we can deliver if you cannot come to the giveaway.
Can I give money instead?
Yes. Use Donate now above. Every dollar goes to buying toys, and your name joins the candy cane.
