Holiday Share & Toy Drive
Overview
Our Holiday Share Toy & Drive has brought the magic of the holidays to vulnerable children and families in North Marin for more than 50 years. This treasured program serves families facing financial hardship during the holidays.
Our 52nd Annual Holiday Share & Toy Drive took place on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to distribute toys and gifts to 383 youth, making holiday wishes come true!

We make a difference to hundreds of children every year. For example, one client, a single mom with a four-year-old son on a very limited income sought our help because she simply could not afford a Christmas gift for her son. She was distraught about disappointing him. We immediately enrolled her family in our annual Holiday Share Program, and her little boy received toys as well as a surprise new bike and helmet! The look of pure joy on his face while riding his first bike was priceless. Grateful mom gushed, “My son loves his bike and rides it every day. He is a lot more active now.”
