Bringing Joy and Hope to 500 Children This Holiday Season: Dec 11 – 13, 2025
Every December, Safe & Sound transforms into a festive Holiday Toy Store, where parents and caregivers can “shop” for new toys, books, and warm clothing for their children — all at no cost.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’re able to bring joy to more than 500 children across the Bay Area each year. Your donations and support help parents provide gifts and create lasting memories for their children during the holidays — a time when many families face extra challenges.
Together, we can make sure every child experiences the magic of the season.
You can make a difference in three simple ways:
Donate new toys or books: Help bring joy to children by selecting items from our Amazon Wish List, dropping off unwrapped new toys or books at our office, or organizing a toy drive at your school or workplace.
Make a monetary gift: Your donation helps us purchase gifts and essentials for children in greatest need.
Volunteer: Join us in helping families select gifts during the store days.
