This year, the collection drive and toy giveaway will take place on separate weekends.

From December 3–5, 2026, Crisco Kidd and Jimmy Olson will set up camp in the heart of Maryvale at Walmart, 5250 W. Indian School Road, Phoenix, AZ 85031. For three days, from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, volunteers, community partners, businesses, and Valley residents will help collect:

• At least 10,000 pounds of nonperishable food benefiting St. Vincent de Paul

• At least 2,000 pounds of new, unwrapped toys for approximately 1,500 children

• 200 bicycles

• Supplies to assemble 1,000 life-essential and hygiene kits benefiting UMOM New Day Centers and additional community partners

Following the collection weekend, our team will have two weeks to sort, organize, and prepare the donated toys for a dedicated 20th Annual Ton of Toys Giveaway on Saturday, December 19, 2026.

Unlike previous years, the giveaway will not be conducted through a mobile distribution immediately following the collection drive. Instead, families will be welcomed into a designated community venue—such as a community center or high school gymnasium—to be announced. This new format will allow us to create a safer, more organized, and more festive holiday experience while giving children and families the time and space to enjoy the celebration.

For 20 years, this event has shown what is possible when businesses, volunteers, community leaders, and generous individuals come together.

With your help, we can make our 20th Annual Ton of Toys & Holiday Food Drive our most meaningful year yet.

WE CAN DO IT!
