City of Oakland Community Toy Drive

Imagine the joy when a child receives a special, unexpected present. The 42nd Annual Community Toy Drive makes the holidays joyful for Oakland children whose families can’t afford gifts.

The Office of Mayor Libby Schaaf and nearly 300 volunteers, team up every year to distribute toys, books, and sports equipment to nearly 9,000 children from low-income families. 2020 was a difficult year for all of us. Aside from the devastating health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Oakland and our residents also felt the deep economic stress. Indeed, Oakland was one of the most disproportionately impacted communities by this disease and the damage to our local economy. Yet so many of you found it in your heart to donate to our most vulnerable residents when others could not. Thanks to your generosity, we helped provide nearly 10,000 children of Oakland with gift cards to local businesses. Your time, effort, and financial support helped families in need, businesses survive, and kept Oakland workers employed.

Each year, demand exceeds what we have. To help us meet our needs, please make a tax-deductible monetary donation. Visit https://posweb.oaklandnet.com/POSWeb/toydrive.aspx

Donate Gift Cards, Cash or Checks - To keep our vulnerable families and volunteers and donors safe during the pandemic and to adhere to the physical distancing guidelines, we are going to provide the safer option of gift cards instead of toys. Families can use these gift cards at local toy stores which helps our local businesses.. Each family will receive two gift cards max depending on donations received for the Toy Drive.

Checks should be made payable to:

“The City of Oakland Community Toy Drive” c/o Office of the Mayor 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza – Third Floor Oakland, CA 94612

Ayude a llevar la alegría navideña a los niños de Oakland: la 42º. Colecta de juguetes comunitaria anual de la Alcaldesa hace que las fiestas sean felices para los niños de Oakland cuyas familias no pueden pagar los regalos. Gracias al personal de la Ciudad y cientos de voluntarios, se entregaron más de 16,000 juguetes, libros, tarjetas de regalo y equipo deportivo a miles de niños de familias de bajos ingresos. Este año, estamos más decididos que nunca a llevar la alegría navideña a las familias necesitadas de Oakland.

Cada año, la demanda supera la cantidad de juguetes recolectados, especialmente para los niños mayores. Para ayudarnos a cumplir nuestras necesidades, haga una donación monetaria deducible de impuestos, que nos permitirá comprar los juguetes adicionales necesarios.

Los cheques deben hacerse pagaderos a:

為屋崙市的孩子們帶來節日的歡樂氣氛

想像一下，當孩子們收到一份特別且意想不到的禮物時擁有的那種喜悅。第41屆年度社區玩具駕駛募捐活動(Annual Community Toy Drive) 為那些無法購買禮物給孩子的家庭帶來節日的歡樂氣氛。

去年，Libby Schaaf市長辦公室和近300名志願者共同合作，為將近9,000名來自低收入家庭的孩子們分發玩具、書籍、體育器材和禮物卡。

然而，每年收到的數量都遠不及需要的數量。為了協助我們達到需要的數量，請踴躍捐款（可申請抵稅）。請造訪
https://www.oaklandca.gov/topics/city-of-oakland-community-toy-drive。

捐贈禮物卡、現金或支票-為了在流行病期間保護弱勢家庭、志願者和捐贈者的安全，並遵守人身距離的指引，我們將提供更安全的禮物卡來代替玩具。每個家庭可以在當地的玩具店使用這些禮物卡，這對當地企業也很有幫助。每個家庭最多會收到兩張禮物卡，卡片數量取決於玩具駕駛募捐活動所收到的募款金額。
