The 2025 campaign is under way.

2025 DISTRIBUTION PARTNER ORIENTATIONS ARE COMPLETE
If your organization is a non-profit, school, church or gov't agency and you would like to assist our campaign by signing up children on our behalf, please attend in Aug 2026.
***If you missed this year's orientation, you can register on the wailist (after Thanksgiving) but there is no guarantee toys will be available***



You can send monetary donations all year round, either online or by check,
made payable to "Toys for Tots", to PO Box 1681, Clovis, CA 93613.


The waitlist will open up, every year in November (the Friday after Thanksgiving), you can come back to this site or follow us on facebook for updates. As always, we will do all we can to help those in need; however, we must have a cutoff in to process the requests. Applications for the waitlist will close on December 10th. Once we collect enough toys we will contact those that registered on the waitlist. We recommend contacting your child's school first and see if the have registered with us as a partner, you will be more likely to receive a gift from a partnering organization but we cannot make any guarantees. We depend on the kindness of donations from people in the Fresno County community to fulfill requests received. 

We will not take applications over the phone or by email. Any received this way will be discarded. 
We receive too many phone calls and email to be able to process in this manner, we apologize for any inconvenience. Our mission is to ensure that every child receives a toy for Christmas and we are doing the best we can to accomplish that mission. We cannot guarantee a toy will be given to all those who have applied. Unfortunately we can only give out what we receive.

We will send a message to the email listed on the application notifying you when and where to pick up your toys after all toys are distributed to partner organizations.


Next year Toy Request Waitlist will reopen the day after Thanksgiving, no emails, messages, or phone call requests will be accepted and will close Dec 10th.
Please encourage your child's school to become a distribution partner begining in August.
