International MERCY Toy Drive
Bringing Christmas joy to children who need it most - join MERCY's Annual Toy Drive since 2008, transforming lives one gift at a time.
A Legacy of Love That Started Small
What began in 2008 with a handful of volunteers distributing 150 toys to children in Los Angeles has grown into a global movement of compassion. The Annual MERCY Toy Drive represents the heart of our mission—showing that every child deserves to experience the magic of Christmas, regardless of their circumstances.
Christmas Miracles Since 2008
Every December marks another year towards our International Toy and Gift Giving Drive—a testament to how far this movement of love has come. Alongside our International Day of MERCY in December, this Christmas tradition has become one of MERCY's two flagship events that reach communities around the world.
More Than Just Gifts
The MERCY Toy Drive isn't simply about distributing presents. It's about:
Restoring Dignity - Every child receives a gift chosen with love and care
Building Community - Volunteers, families, and recipients come together in the spirit of giving
Creating Hope - For many children, this may be their only Christmas gift
Empowering Ambassadors - Our 10,000+ MERCY Ambassadors across six continents make this magic possible
Global Impact, Local Heart
What makes our Toy Drive extraordinary is its reach. From the streets of Los Angeles where it all began to communities across 47 countries, MERCY Ambassadors deliver joy to:
Children in underserved communities
Orphans and foster youth
Families affected by poverty, disaster, or crisis
Refugee children seeking safety and hope
Compassion in Action
True to MERCY's motto "Compassion is Action," every toy distributed carries a message: You are seen. You are valued. You are loved. This aligns perfectly with our mission of Maximizing Efforts for Relief, Care, and Youth worldwide.
Join the Movement
The MERCY Toy Drive proves that when good-hearted people come together with BIG Dreams, we can transform the world one person at a time. As we prepare for another incredible year of giving, we invite you to be part of this legacy of love that continues to grow, one child, one gift, one Christmas miracle at a time.
Because every child deserves to believe in the magic of Christmas.
