7th Annual Be A Good Friend Toy Drive

About this event

Friends of Feeney invites you to join our 7th Annual Be A Good Friend Toy Drive, helping children across West Hartford and surrounding communities experience the joy of the holiday season.

From Monday, November 9 through Saturday, December 5, local businesses will host collection boxes for new, unwrapped gifts. Three special events will provide additional opportunities to make the holidays brighter for our community members in need.

Donated toys and gifts will benefit:

• The Wolcott Welcoming Schools Committee, who will distribute to families in need with school-aged children in West Hartford.

• Select families across Connecticut who have been supported by Friends of Feeney and could use a little extra holiday magic this year.

What Should I Donate?

While it’s called a “toy” drive, we encourage donations for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. Gift cards make wonderful contributions, especially for older kids who are often overlooked in traditional toy drives.
