Toy Chest

We believe access to play provides comfort, joy, and extraordinary physical, emotional, and educational benefits to children when they need it most.

Toy Chest


Toy Chest is the only industry-wide giving initiative that distributes companies’ toy donations to children when they need it most. Since 2003, Toy Chest has comforted more than 37 million children with the power of play.

Part of The Toy Association™, Toy Chest advances members’ corporate social responsibility efforts, supports inventory management, and assists in tradeshow moveout.

Toy Chest is an opportunity to unite the industry’s donations to create big impact on children around the world.

We distribute toy donations to vetted nonprofit organizations with support of a logistics partner that operates facilities in Greater New York, Pittsburgh, Appalachia, Greater Chicago, North Texas, and Pacific Northwest. Member organizations can pick up toys quarterly from the closest facility to distribute to the children served.

The Membership Application to submit and receive toys is closed and will re-open in January 2027. If an application was submitted in 2026, approved applicants will be notified by October 2026 and can receive a distribution of toys before the end of the year.
