Volunteers
We always need assistance in the following fields:
Warehouse: Unboxing shipments, breaking down boxes, counting toys, sorting toys, preparing orders for non-profit organizations, and preparing orders for families. Whether you are alone or want to host a day of volunteering with your large group, we always need help. Maximum of 30 volunteers per day is allowed in the warehouse.
Drop Site Assistance: Dropping off empty boxes and collecting full toy boxes from different towns in Hartford and Litchfield county. Empty box drop offs occur during Oct and end in Nov. Pick Ups will happen in December.
Catering: We are not allowed to use unit or campaign funds for food, you can volunteer by hosting meals for our volunteers.
Drop Sites
Unable to come in and volunteer? No problem.
Register your business to be an official collection site for Toys for Tots.
You can either pick up from boxes and marketing supplies from our Headquarters in Plainville or they can be dropped off during the month of October. Collections from October 1
st to Dec 19
th. Filled boxes can be dropped off at the headquarters or you can await our pickup.
Events
Events are good for one day collection events. You can pick up the boxes early and host a collection up until your event. Or we can bring the boxes for your event at the time of pick up. You can request Marines to attend the event as well. During this busy season, we try to keep Marines to 1-2 hour blocks depending on the amount of events we have that day.
