Holiday toy drives in Columbus and Charlottesville deliver gifts, food, and joy to families in need through community efforts.

Christmas toy drives and holiday events across Columbus and Charlottesville are providing gifts, meals, and joy to families in need. In Columbus, nonprofits hosted giveaways, celebrations, and resource fairs, including a horse-delivered toy event and a major toy giveaway with new partners. In Charlottesville, a 16-year-old gift caravan delivered toys via police and Santa, while a sixth annual drive at Mejicali offered free toys, bikes, food, and community connection. Both efforts relied on donations, volunteer work, and local partnerships to support children during the holidays.
