Spread holiday cheer: Join WTOL 11’s Gift of Joy drive for Lucas County’s children in need!

Support children living in foster care by donating a new and unwrapped toy or gift this holiday season.

TOLEDO, Ohio — WTOL 11 Gift of Joy sponsored by PNC is kicking off this holiday season to benefit Toledo-area children who are in special need of holiday cheer. 

The drive provides gifts for children living in foster care, with relatives or with their families under Lucas County Children Services supervision.

You can participate and help bring joy to a child by donating a new and unwrapped toy or gift. Gift collection begins Friday, Nov. 15 and runs through Dec 20. 

The drive provides gifts for children from birth to age 18. While we are seeking gifts for all age groups, the agency particularly needs gifts for children of all ethnic groups who are newborn to 3 years old, and gift cards for teenagers. 

On Thursday, Dec. 12 you can bring your gift to our Downtown Gift Drop. Bring your donated gifts to the WTOL 11 station, 730 N. Summit St., from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Along with PNC, this year's Gift of Joy sponsors include Yark, La-Z-Boy, Habitec Security, Teamsters Local 20 and the Harlem Globetrotters.
