Moving Forward Together

Holiday Toy Drive

Help us collect new toys for children experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty in our community!

Jewish Family Service is teaming up with Geppetto’s Toy Stores for a day of giving to make the holidays a little brighter for the families served by JFS. Together, we are hosting a toy drive to bring holiday cheer to children aged 0-12 years. For many children, the gift you give may be the only one they receive. Collect and donate toys as an individual, family, team, business or organization—every gift makes a difference!

Mark your calendar for Thursday, December 4!

  • Geppetto’s in Carlsbad Forum, 10:00am – 8:00pm
  • Geppetto’s in Del Mar Highlands Town Center, 10:00am – 9:00pm

For every toy donated, Geppetto’s will match your donation by contributing an additional toy.

Geppetto’s has been a San Diego tradition for over 40 years. Locally owned and operated by the Miller Family, Geppetto’s award-winning stores offer toys that inspire creative play for the entire family.
