My Brother’s Keeper Hosts New Christmas Toy Drive

On Saturday, November 5, 2022 from 10:00am-12:00pm My Brother’s Keeper will be hosting a Christmas Toy Drive to collect new, unwrapped toys for local families in need.

Please join us for our Christmas Toy Drive and help us bring the joy of Christmas to 3,000+ local families in need. Bring unwrapped gifts to one of our two facilities and volunteers will gladly assist you with your donations.

This toy drive will support the organization’s local Christmas Assistance Program. Since 1990, My Brother’s Keeper has brought joy to kids and removed stress from parents who could not provide presents for their children at Christmas.

This past December, My Brother’s Keeper delivered personally-selected gifts to 3,053 families – more than 13,000 children and adults! – living in 95 communities from the North Shore down to Fall River and Cape Cod.

Many Christmas assistance programs only serve children under age 13, but in keeping with our mission, My Brother’s Keeper serves the whole family – children, teens, and parents too.

In addition to their presents, each family also receives a $50 supermarket gift card to help provide a special Christmas meal.

Demand for assistance in our community remains very strong so the Christmas Toy Collection Drive will help My Brother’s Keeper provide as much assistance to families as possible.

Another way to support the Christmas Assistance Program is by making a financial donation online. My Brother's Keeper supplements Christmas donations by purchasing toys when necessary. Visit www.mybrotherskeeper.org  for details. My Brother’s Keeper is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and does not receive any local, state or federal funding, and relies on private donations to serve the community.
