Holiday toy drive 2026
Help us fill the holidays for local families.
We are collecting new, unwrapped toys and gift cards for families in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Every gift stays local, and we deliver them to families ourselves.
Please drop off all donations by Thursday, December 10, 2026. That gives us time to sort everything and get it to families before the holidays.
Questions, or want us to pick up your donation? Call or text either of us.
How to give
Three ways to help
-
A new, unwrapped toy
Please leave gifts unwrapped so we can match each one to the right child. Toys for every age are welcome, from babies to preteens.
-
A gift card
Teenagers are the easiest to overlook. A gift card to a local store, a bookstore or a sporting goods store lets an older child pick something they truly want.
-
A donation of money
Give online through GoFundMe or Venmo. We use every dollar to buy gifts for the families we deliver to.
On Venmo, search for @franasilktoydrive. Prefer to give another way? Call or text either of us.

Gift ideas
Not sure what to give?

A few tips
- Add batteries. If a toy needs them, tape a pack to the box so it works on the first day.
- Leave the price tag or a gift receipt on clothing so the size can be swapped.
- Leave it unwrapped. We look at every gift so we can match it to the right child.
We can't accept used items or wrapped gifts. Frana & Silk Real Estate Group is not a charity, so donations are not tax deductible.
